Uganda faces a severe non-communicable disease (NCD) burden, responsible for 35% of deaths and 40% of the national disease burden. This policy brief urges the Government of Uganda to adopt a modified WHO AFRO Nutrient Profiling Model (NPM) and implement mandatory Front-of-Pack Warning Labels (FOPWL) to empower consumers, reduce unhealthy food consumption, and curb NCD prevalence. The proposed NPM revisions include simplified solid/liquid categories and new thresholds for non-sugar sweeteners and caffeine. Evidence from Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay demonstrates that FOPWL drives product reformulation, reduces purchases of unhealthy foods, and improves public health outcomes. The brief calls on the Ministry of Health, Uganda National Bureau of Standards, and Ministry of Agriculture to integrate these measures into national food policies, restrict marketing of ultra-processed foods, and promote local agroecology. Civil society oversight will ensure policies remain free from industry influence and prioritize public health.
