What is food labelling?

Food labelling refers to the information provided on food packaging that helps consumers make informed choices about what they eat. Labels typically include details such as ingredients, nutritional facts, allergen warnings, expiration dates, and origin of the product. Food labelling is regulated by government agencies to ensure accuracy, transparency, and safety. Proper labelling enables consumers to identify products that meet their dietary needs and preferences, and helps prevent foodborne illnesses or allergic reactions.
