LabelWise scanner helping a shopper understand nutri-grade c and d labels on a packaged food label

Current app name

SafeChoice: Food Scanner is now LabelWise: Food Scanner. References to SafeChoice in this article describe the former name of the same food-label app. Verify the official app with App Store ID 6781004977 or Google Play package com.safechoice.safechoice.

Quick answer

Singapore Nutri-Grade labels grade covered beverages from A to D using sugar and saturated fat. HealthHub explains that C and D drinks must show the mark, while A and B labels are optional. For shoppers, the fastest check is the visible grade, the sugar percentage, saturated fat per 100 ml, serving size, toppings, sweeteners, caffeine, and the nutrition information panel.

Key takeaways

Nutri-Grade A has the lowest sugar and saturated fat levels, while Nutri-Grade D has the highest.
HealthHub says C and D drinks must display the Nutri-Grade mark. A and B labelling is optional, so a missing mark can still mean A or B.
The grade is for covered beverages. It is not a complete food score for every packaged food.
A 0% sugar or no-added-sugar drink can still be C or D if saturated fat or naturally occurring sugar pushes the grade higher.
From mid-2027, MOH says Nutri-Grade will extend to selected retail salt, sauces, seasonings, instant noodles, and cooking oils.
Use LabelWise as a label-reading helper alongside HPB, HealthHub, and MOH guidance, not as medical advice.

Step-by-step workflow

1Start with the exact package label rather than the front claim alone.
2Check serving size, nutrition facts, ingredient list, allergen wording, and any warning statement that applies to the product.
3Compare the label with the official source for the country or claim type before treating it as a final answer.
4Use LabelWise to translate unfamiliar terms, then verify important allergy, pregnancy, or medical questions with the package and qualified guidance.
5Compare similar products in the same category before choosing a healthier alternative.

Quick answer for shoppers

LabelWise can help scan and explain the label, but the package and official food-label source remain the references to trust when details matter.

Common mistakes to avoid

Most label-reading mistakes happen when a shopper accepts one front-of-package signal without checking the full label. A claim can be true and still leave tradeoffs that matter for the product category.

Do not assume a missing Nutri-Grade mark means the drink is ungraded. A and B marks may be optional.
Do not treat 0% sugar as the full answer. Saturated fat can still matter.
Do not compare bubble tea, juice, milk drinks, and plain water as if they are the same category.
Do not ignore toppings or add-ons on freshly prepared drinks.
Do not treat Nutri-Grade as a diagnosis, diet plan, or complete nutrition score.
Do not apply Singapore Nutri-Grade rules to non-Singapore labels without checking local context.

Source-backed context

HPB's Nutri-Grade guide, updated 15 July 2026, says the beverage measures cover prepackaged drinks, non-customisable automated beverage dispensers, and freshly prepared beverages in specified settings. HealthHub explains that C and D drinks must display the mark, while A and B labels are optional. MOH says the next extension will cover 23 sub-categories of prepacked salt, sauces, seasonings, instant noodles, and cooking oils sold in retail settings from mid-2027.

How LabelWise helps

LabelWise, formerly SafeChoice, can scan Singapore beverage labels and help separate the grade, sugar percentage, saturated fat, toppings, sweeteners, caffeine, serving size, and ingredient list. It is useful for comparing similar drinks in the aisle or on a menu, while official HPB, HealthHub, and MOH sources remain the authority.

FAQs

Can LabelWise help with nutri-grade c and d labels?

Yes. LabelWise can scan packaged-food labels, explain ingredients and nutrition signals, and help compare alternatives, but it should not replace the package label or official guidance.

What should I check first?

Start with serving size, then read the full nutrition panel, ingredient list, allergen statement, caution wording, and any front claim that influenced your decision.

Can I rely on one front-of-package claim?

No. Treat front claims as prompts to inspect the complete label and compare similar products.

Where should I download the official LabelWise Food Scanner?
