We call on policymakers to take action because Kenya can save thousands of lives by adopting the World Health Organisation-recommended limit.

Your child’s favorite snack might be slowly harming their heart. Industrially produced trans fats (iTFAs) lurk in fried foods, baked goods & margarines.

According to the Tobacco Data Initiative (TCDI), increasing tobacco taxes is the most cost-effective method of reducing tobacco consumption. Tobacco drains family budgets and Kenya’s productivity.

Kenya can lead East Africa by being the first to regulate industrially produced trans fats.
Ministry of Health,
The time to act is now. iTFAs fuel heart disease & NCDs that cause 40% of deaths in Kenya.

1/1A warning label on the front = a clearer choice for families. Kenya deserves Transparency On Our Plates. Front-of-Pack Warning Labels (FOPWL) make it easy to know if food is high in sugar, salt, or fat before you decide to buy.

This #WorldFoodDay, one question matters: do we know what is in our food? Without Front-of-Pack Warning Labels (FOPWL), we can’t tell if what we are buying is high in sugar, salt, or fat.

#FoodPolicyKE
These labels will help Kenyans to make informed choices about what they eat and drink because everyone deserves to know what’s in their food

MYTH: Raising tobacco and nicotine taxes hurts Kenyans and only benefits the government.

MYTH : Raising tobacco and nicotine taxes hurts Kenyans and only benefits the government. FACT: Increasing tobacco and nicotine taxes actually saves lives and protects Kenyans. Higher prices discourage individuals from starting or continuing tobacco and nicotine, reducing healthcare costs and preventing chronic illnesses like cancer, heart disease, and stroke. Evidence shows that tobacco and nicotine users reduce consumption or quit entirely when taxes rise. Read more: https://lnkd.in/d9iB8kNm hashtag#PassTobaccoControlBillKE hashtag#TCDIKenya

During Global Week for Action on NCDs, let’s remember: laws only save lives when enforced. Kenya has strong tobacco laws, but without enforcement, smoke-free spaces & health warnings, and other laws mean little.

Our kids are growing up surrounded by junk food with no warnings.
It’s time to protect their health by:
⚠️Adapting Front-of-pack warning labels.
🚫 Stop marketing unhealthy foods to kids.
Their future depends on it.

This Global Week for Action on NCDs, let’s talk heart health. In Kenya, some foods still hide industrially produced trans fats (iTFAs). They clog arteries, raise bad cholesterol & increase the risk of heart attack & stroke.

The findings of the media mapping report shed light on who is shaping the conversation, where stories are being told, and how they reach audiences - insights that strengthen our ability to work with the media to inform the public, engage policymakers, and counter industry narratives.
