Healthier Food

Our healthier food products are specially selected to be lower in sugar or sodium,
or higher in protein, following the Health Promotion Board (HPB)’s recommended guidelines for nutrient levels in food. Many of our products also carry a Nutri-Grade rating of A or B, making them better choices for supporting a balanced
and healthier diet.

“Low sodium” means that the food contains less salt than regular versions. According to Health Promotion Board (HPB), foods labelled as “low in sodium” must contain no more than 120mg of sodium per 100g (or 100mL) of the product. HPB also recommends that adults limit sodium intake to less than 2,000mg per day - about one teaspoon (5g) of salt. Low sodium foods are made with reduced salt or salt alternatives to support a healthier diet without losing flavour.

A low-sodium diet can help:

·       Lower blood pressure and reduce strain on your heart

·       Decrease risk of heart disease and stroke

·       Prevent water retention and bloating

·       Support kidney health

A low-sodium diet is especially helpful for people with high blood pressure, heart
disease, or kidney problems, or for anyone watching their salt intake for general health. Reducing sodium is a simple way to take care of your heart and overall well-being.

“Low sugar” means that the food contains less added sugar than regular products. It may be naturally sweetened or made with alternative ingredients to help you enjoy flavour without excess sugar. According to HPB’s nutrient claim standards, a product labelled “low in sugar” contains no more than 5g of sugar per 100g (solid) or 2.5g per 100mL (liquid). HPB recommends that total daily sugar intake for an individual should not exceed 10% of his/her daily energy — ideally below 50g (about 10 teaspoons), and preferably under 25g (about 5 teaspoons) for better health.

A low-sugar diet can help:

·       Stabilise blood sugar levels

·       Reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease

·       Support healthy weight management

·       Improve energy and mood throughout the day

A low-sugar diet is especially beneficial for people with diabetes, prediabetes, or those managing their weight. It’s also ideal for anyone who wants to avoid energy crashes and support long-term health.

A product labelled “high in protein” contains at least 12g of protein per 100g for solids, or 6g per 100mL for liquids, according to HPB nutrient claim standards. Protein is an essential nutrient that helps build and repair tissues, support immune function, and maintain muscle mass.

Eating enough protein can help to:

·       Build and repair muscles and tissues

·       Support healthy immune function

·       Maintain strength and mobility in elderly

·       Promote satiety, helping to manage appetite and weight

A high-protein diet is beneficial for:

·       Active adults or athletes needing extra protein for muscle repair and recovery

·       Older adults to help maintain muscle strength and prevent frailty

·       Individuals recovering from illness or surgery

·       Anyone aiming to support healthy weight management

Most adults need about 0.8g - 1.0g of protein per kg of body weight per day, as recommended by HPB, though needs may vary based on age, activity level, and health condition.

Digestive care refers to maintaining a healthy digestive system, which helps your body break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste efficiently. Good digestive care includes ating fibre-rich foods, staying hydrated, and supporting a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

A healthy digestive system supports your overall well-being - from nutrient absorption and immunity to energy levels and mood. Poor digestion can lead to bloating, constipation, or discomfort, so caring for your gut helps you feel lighter and healthier.

Maintaining good digestion can help:

·       Reduce bloating and discomfort

·       Support regular bowel movements

·       Boost nutrient absorption

·       Enhance immune health

·       Improve energy and overall well-being

Digestive care products are suitable for anyone who experiences bloating, irregular bowel movements, or discomfort after meals, as well as those looking to maintain gut balance. They can also benefit people taking antibiotics or with diets low in fibre.
