"If we are to prevent avoidable suffering and deaths from NCDs, it is essential that we continue to strengthen sustainable UHC mechanisms ensuring access to early diagnosis and timely quality care for those living with these conditions." — Prof. Joseph Mucumbitsi. #NCDAF2025

4/4.💡 Implementing FOPWLs means defending dignity, empowering choices, and promoting health for all. Because knowing what’s in your food shouldn’t be a privilege — it’s a right. #FoodPolicyKE.

3/4⚖️ FOPWLs are tools for equity. They level the playing field by making nutrition information accessible to everyone — regardless of education or income. No more hidden ingredients. No more silent harm. #FoodPolicyKE

2/4.🛑 Front-of-Pack Warning Labels (FOPWLs) help consumers easily identify foods high in harmful ingredients. They work — and they save lives. We must act now to empower all Kenyans, especially the most vulnerable. #FoodPolicyKE

1/4.🍽️ Every Kenyan deserves safe, healthy food. But without clear labels, many end up consuming excess salt, sugar & fat unknowingly. It’s time for #FrontOfPackWarningLabels. This isn’t just a health issue — it’s about justice. #FoodPolicyKE

4/4.📢 Regulating trans fats is ensuring food justice. Every shilling invested in prevention today protects lives tomorrow. It’s time to act—not react. #TransFatFreeKenya 🇰🇪 #TransFatFreeEAC

3/4.✅ Eliminating trans fats through strong, enforceable regulation is a proven, low-cost intervention that can save thousands of lives and reduce long-term health spending. Let’s prevent disease before it starts. #TransFatFreeEAC #TransFatFreeKenya

2/4.⚠️ These are preventable diseases, yet they hit hardest in low-income communities where access to healthy food is limited. Trans fats are deepening health inequality in Kenya and across East Africa. #TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC

1/4.🇰🇪 Every Kenyan has the right to safe, healthy food. 🛑 But industrially produced trans fats, found in many cheap, ultra-processed foods, are putting lives at risk—fueling heart disease ❤️, stroke 🧠, and other NCDs. #TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC

@IILAinfo @IncubatorGHAI @MOH_Kenya @psmuthoni @ncdalliance @RwandaNCDA @NCDAllianceKe @OgwenoStephen_ 4/.Let’s turn food safety talk into food safety action. The time for clear, mandatory Front-of-Package Warning Labels is now. Together, we can empower consumers and protect future generations. #FoodPolicyKE #WorldFoodSafetyDay

@IILAinfo @IncubatorGHAI @MOH_Kenya @psmuthoni @ncdalliance @RwandaNCDA @NCDAllianceKe @OgwenoStephen_ 3/.Countries like Chile and Mexico have successfully implemented FOPWLs — reducing junk food sales, improving diets, and driving reformulation by manufacturers. Kenya can and should do the same. Policy is prevention. #FoodPolicyKE #WorldFoodSafetyDay

2/.Many packaged foods in our supermarkets are loaded with excess salt, sugar, and fat — yet consumers have no clear warning. #FOPWLs are simple, bold labels that flag high-risk ingredients right on the front. They save lives. #FoodPolicyKE #WorldFoodSafetyDay

1/.#WorldFoodSafetyDay reminded us that safe food isn't just about hygiene — it’s also about what’s in the food. Let’s build on this momentum to demand Front-of-Package Warning Labels (FOPWLs) that help Kenyans make informed, healthier choices. #FoodPolicyKE #WorldFoodSafetyDay

5/5.#WorldFoodSafetyDay may be behind us, but the work continues. Trans fats have no place in our food — not now, not ever. Strong public policy is the only way forward. #TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC

4/5.📢 Kenya has the chance to lead the way in trans fat regulation across East Africa. Let’s use the momentum from #WorldFoodSafetyDay to demand:.✔️Policy reform.✔️Industry accountability.✔️Healthy food systems.#TransFatFreeKenya #TransFatFreeEAC
