Indonesia Formalizes Nutri-Level Labeling Requirements In Beverage Products

Indonesia’s Minister of Health has issued Decree No. HK.01.07/MENKES/301/2026 on the Affixation of Nutritional Labels and Health Information to Ready-to-Eat Processed Food Products. The decree came into force on April 14, 2026, and was issued to implement the Health Law and Minister of Health Regulation No. 3 of 2026 on Disease Control. The decree requires the inclusion of Nutri-Level labeling on the front-of-pack nutrition labeling (FOPNL) to indicate the product’s nutritional level based on the content of sugar, salt, and fat (“gula, garam dan lemak (GGL)”).

Changes from 2024 Draft Regulation

The Nutri-Level labeling was previously proposed in 2024 by the Indonesian FDA (BPOM) through a draft regulation concerning nutrition information. While the categories of Nutri-Level labeling remain the same in the issued decree, the content requirements of sugar, salt and fat in the decree are different from the earlier proposal introduced in the 2024 draft BPOM regulation. In addition, the decree has further specified that the content of fat in the Nutri-Level labeling is the content of saturated fat, not total fat as previously proposed in the 2024 draft.

The decree requires Nutri-Level labeling to be implemented in beverage products, which is the same as previously proposed in the 2024 draft BPOM regulation. Other food products may gradually become subject to mandatory Nutri-Level labeling under future implementing regulations.

Nutri-Level Labeling

Food levels as shown by the Nutri-Level labeling are classified into four color-coded categories from A to D:

• Level A (lowest amount) in dark green
• Level B in light green
• Level C in yellow
• Level D (highest amount) in red

The Nutri-Level labeling is represented by the following image.

The requirements for each level for sugar, salt, and fat content, based on amounts per 100 milliliters of product in beverage form, are as follows.

Nutri-Level information must be affixed as follows:

• Nutri-Level must be displayed in full, using all four letters — A, B, C, and D.
• The applicable level for the product is indicated by highlighting the letter that corresponds to the highest percentage of sugar, salt, or fat content in the product.
• Nutri-Level labeling must be clearly legible; it must not touch the product’s brand name or obscure any other mandatory product information.
• The Nutri-Level designation must be accompanied by information on the percentage of the GGL component with the highest content. It is worth noting that this requirement was not previously indicated in the 2024 draft BPOM regulation. The decree clearly regulates that the Nutri-Level on the product label shall be represented by the highest content among sugar, salt, and saturated fat.

Nutri-Level information must be affixed to the following information media of beverage products:

• Menus (i.e., at restaurants and stores)
• Retail packaging
• Brochures, banners, flyers, and leaflets
• Menus on commercial electronic applications
• Other forms of information media

The Nutri-Level label displaying the percentage of the GGL component with the highest content can be presented in the following three approved layout formats:

1. Horizontal

2. Vertical

3. Simplified Infographic Logo

Implementation

The decree provides a grace period for registered beverage products to comply with the Nutri-Level labeling requirements of two years from the date of issuance by BPOM of an implementing regulation. This regulation has not yet been issued.
