What is food labeling and why is it important?

Food labeling refers to the information displayed on food packaging that provides details about the product, such as ingredients, nutritional facts, allergens, and expiration dates. It is important because it helps consumers make informed choices about what they eat, ensures transparency, and enables people with dietary restrictions or allergies to avoid harmful ingredients. Food labeling is also regulated by government agencies to maintain food safety standards and prevent misleading claims.
