What Is the Nutrition Information on Food Labels?
Nutrition information on food labels can support consumers in making informed food choices. It can be found in nutrition labelling (provided on labels of prepackaged foods, under the title “Nutrition Facts”); nutrition claims, which include both nutrient content claims and health claims; and the ingredient list. It does not refer to all information on the label, such as labelling related to allergens, food biotechnology (genetically modified organisms – GMOs), organic certification, irradiation processes or the “best before” date.
