New Malaysia Nutrition Facts Label Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For your information, the regulation affected by these changes is Regulation 18B of Malaysia Food Regulations 1985. So, we will break down the changes to you as simply as possible so that everyone can easily understand them.<\/p>\n

Sodium Content<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0new Malaysia nutrition facts label<\/strong>\u00a0will make it mandatory to\u00a0label sodium content on food packaging.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sugar Content<\/h3>\n
