All major media platforms across print, online, TV and radio reported on the launch of the Singapore Standard 692 Guidelines for Nutrition and Food Services for Infants and Children, or SS 692, a collaboration between the National Healthcare Group, the Singapore Manufacturing Federation and Enterprise Singapore, at My First Skool at 6 New Punggol Road. Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for Health Masagos Zulkifli was the Guest of Honour at the event.
Thian Ai Ling , General Manager at My First Skool, NTUC First Campus, stated the standard would serve as an additional source of reference for its educators and parents on nutrition for preschoolers and a useful tool when they are looking to cater meals for school events. “When we procure food services now, we would have to indicate the food requirements like low-salt because of the age group we are serving. But with the standard, we don’t have to go back and forth to explain what we need,” said Ms Thian.
