Front of pack nutrition labelling
Providing front of pack nutritional information remains voluntary, however many food manufacturers choose to display nutritional information on the front of pre-packaged food and drinks.
Front of pack labels allows consumers to:
• Check what the food contains – how much energy, fat, saturates, sugar and salt the food provides, plus how much of their Reference Intake this contributes to;
• Compare foods they buy with other similar foods;
• Choose the foods that best suit their needs.
