Frequent consumption of instant noodles is a health risk, experts say

11 Sept 06:59 Key points summarised by AI

Health experts warn that frequent consumption of instant noodles, despite their convenience and affordability, poses significant health risks due to their high sodium content and low nutritional value.
To make instant noodles healthier, the Thai FDA suggests adding protein sources like meat and eggs, along with fiber-rich steamed vegetables, to balance the meal and meet daily nutritional needs.
Consumers are advised to limit instant noodle intake to no more than two packets per week, read nutrition fact labels carefully, and choose products bearing the 'Healthier Choice Symbol' to reduce sodium intake and mitigate risks of non-communicable diseases.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
