• The Kenyan and other nutrient profiling models

  Kenya’s Nutrient Profile Model, published in July 2025, was adapted from the World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa (WHO AFRO) model. The Kenyan model is intended to establish criteria for restricting marketing food products to children and applying front-of-package warning labels to assist consumers in identifying products containing excess total fat, saturated fat, total sugar, and sodium. This brief reports on how feasibly and comprehensively the Kenyan nutrient profile model identifies products of concern compared to other nutrient profile models under consideration in the African region.
