food labeling

Food labeling provides consumers with specific information about a product. It is regulated by legislation. Labeling on packaged foods must include the following information:

• description of the product (e.g. cream cheese)
• list of ingredients (including additives and allergens)
• best before date or use by date
• quantity
• manufacturers details (name and address)
• batch number

In addition to this information, certain foods must also display product specific information (e.g. eggs, mineral water, milk). Genetically engineered foods must be labeled as such.
