Food & Nutritional Labeling
By law, processed food is required to have a label that tells the consumer what they are buying, the amount, the nutritional content, the ingredients (if multi – ingredient) and the name and city location of the manufacturer, distributor or retailer. The links below address specific areas of food labeling.
Ingredients are listed in order of their weight in the food, from most to least.
