The Healthy Food Environment Act would require front‑of‑package warning labels on any pre‑packaged food that is too high in sugar, sodium, saturated fat, total fat or calories, and would ban all advertising of those foods that targets children or appears near schools and playgrounds. The Department of Health will set the nutrient limits, and violators could face fines from ₱5,000 to ₱1 million, with the money collected used to fund the program.
