Abstract

The ease of purchasing packaged beverages can impact public health, especially when there is little information available about the health risks of high-sugar drinks. This study compares the laws regulating high-sugar beverages in Indonesia and Singapore to suggest improvements for Indonesian regulations. With growing awareness of health issues related to food and drink consumption, this research examines the effectiveness of existing regulations and aims to strengthen consumer protection. The study highlights the importance of clear and honest product information through an analysis of Indonesia's Consumer Protection Law and Health Law No. 17 of 2023. Suggestions include adopting measures like Singapore’s Nutri-Grade system and sugar taxes to raise public awareness and reduce risks of non-communicable diseases. This research aims to provide recommendations for Indonesia's health policies to enhance the quality of life for its people.
