Can NutriData explain the telephone number exemption that applies to small packages of food?
A small food package, defined as a package measuring less than 12″ sq. in total surface area available for labeling, may not be able to hold a nutrition facts label. For the consumer’s information, the manufacturer/distributor may print a telephone number or address the consumer can use to obtain nutrition facts about the product. This exemption is valid only when the product label does not make any statements about nutrient content or make any other nutritional claims or statements.
