The majority of Indonesians frequently consume food with added flavor enhancers. This is evident in the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) report from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes).

The report found that 73.8% of respondents over the age of three consume flavor enhancers more than once a day.

Furthermore, 16.8% of respondents consume food with flavor enhancers 1-6 times per week. Only 9.4% of respondents consume flavor enhancers less than 3 times a month.

The flavor enhancers referred to in this report include MSG, instant broth, and other cooking seasonings.

In addition, the Ministry of Health urges limiting the use of food flavor enhancers such as MSG.

"As a substitute, use natural flavor enhancers such as shallots, garlic, scallions, turmeric, coriander, and others," wrote the Ministry of Health in a post on its Twitter/X account on Tuesday (January 16, 2024).

Moreover, inappropriate amounts of sugar, salt, and fat or oil can also trigger various non-communicable diseases.

The Ministry of Health recommends a maximum daily consumption of 50 grams or 4 tablespoons of sugar, 5 grams or 1 teaspoon of salt, and 67 grams or 5 tablespoons of oil.
