With the growing obesity crisis among children, WHO and other public health advocates and consumer groups have called for restrictions on advertising of ‘... foods’ high in salt, sugar and fat to children.

A nutrient profile model does just that and therefore, a nutrition profile model for South East Asia was developed. The model is consistent with international guidance for preventing chronic disease and is a simple system with clear cut-offs for defining which foods are not suitable for advertising to children.
