Question 10 on Food Nutrition Facts Labeling

Nutrition labels for prepackaged foods.

Not all food labels have a nutrition sheet. Only some prepackaged food products will be mandatory to include a nutrition facts list on their labels. For example, China's fresh and freshly made and sold foods do not need to write a list of nutrients.

According to GB28050-2011 General Rules for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods, the following types of foods cannot be written in the nutrition content list: packaged raw meat, fish, raw vegetables, fruits, eggs, etc. Alcoholic beverages with ethanol content; Outer packaging of food with a total surface area of 100 square centimeters or without a single surface area of 20 square centimeters; Freshly made and sold food; packaged drinking water; The daily consumption of pre-modified crude packaged food is less than 10 grams or 10 ml; Other laws and regulations do not require prepackaged foods to be labeled with nutritional content.

Prepackaged food exempted from mandatory nutrition labelling must comply with this standard if any nutrition information appears on the packaging.

Nutrition facts list.

Basic elements of the nutrition facts list].

There are 5 basic elements: header, nutrient name, content, NRV%, and box.

1.Header. Take the "Nutrition Facts List" as the header;

2.Name of the nutritional ingredient. Label the energy and nutrient content by name and order in standard table 1;

3.Content. Refers to the content value and expression unit, for ease of understanding, the expression unit can also be located after the name of the nutrient ingredient, such as: energy (kj);

nrv%。Refers to the percentage of energy or nutrient content in the corresponding nutrient reference value (NRV);

5.Pane. In ** or equivalent. The box can be any size and perpendicular to the baseline of the package.

The contents of the nutrition facts list should be labeled in Chinese, and if they are also labeled in English, they should correspond to Chinese. When making nutrition labels, enterprises can change the font according to the layout design, so as not to affect the correct understanding of consumers.

Food nutrition labels do not include nutrients**.

The so-called food nutrition label is to mark the nutritional content and display nutritional information on the outer packaging of food, as well as appropriate nutrition claims and health claims. Generally speaking, food nutrition labels include three parts: nutritional content (nutritional information), nutrition claims and health claims. A general food label is one that only indicates the nutritional content, and the food nutrition label must indicate the amount of the nutrient and its percentage of the daily intake, i.e. nutritional information.

Nutrition labels are markers that describe the caloric and nutrient content of meat, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of other processed foods. Nutrition labels include the following: nutritional facts; nutrition claims; Nutritional facts functional claims.

Nutrition labels must state the following nutrients: energy; Protein; fats (saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids); Carbohydrates; Sodium.

According to the standard, both pre-packaged foods and pre-packaged foods for special dietary use can claim (label) the physiological effects of nutrients on the human body on food labels. However, it can only claim the physiological effect of a certain nutrient on the human body, and shall not claim or imply that it has the effect of **, ** or preventing diseases, and "shall not claim that the product itself has the function of a certain nutrient", which is to draw a line with health food.

Hello dear, I hope to help you with the answers.

The "Food Nutrition Labeling Management Specification" stipulates that all pre-packaged foods sold in China must be marked with food nutrition content, including protein, fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates and dietary fiber. In terms of nutrition and health statements, it will be more standardized. For example, fat and cholesterol are expressed in a variety of expressions such as "low fat, reduced fat, no or no fat, low saturated fat, no or no saturated fat, low cholesterol, reduced cholesterol, no or no cholesterol" in the bucket locust, and correspond to the relevant content.

In addition, the standard statement of nutrient function has also been refined, for example, the standard statement of sodium mentions that "the World Health Organization recommends that the daily salt intake should not exceed 6 grams; Too much sodium is harmful to health."

Usually the food we buy, the outer packaging of the bird has a nutritional content list for the ear wax, such as milk and bread. Instant noodles and other foods, different foods have corresponding nutritional content tables.

Hello We are happy to answer for you, food nutrition labels include nutrition content lists, nutrition claims, functional claims, food nutrition labels are an important way for consumers to understand the nutritional composition and nutritional characteristics of products, and related nutritional knowledge. Different people should choose different pre-packaged foods according to the nutritional characteristics of the product, such as infant formula Qianshan resistant milk powder for infants, sugar-free foods for diabetics, and low-fat and low-cholesterol products for hyperlipidemia patients. In terms of content, food labels and food nutrition labels provide consumers with the basis for choosing prepackaged foods from different perspectives.

The status quo of food nutrition content labeling in China is worrying, as the saying goes, "no rules are not a circle". Some domestic foods are printed with nutritional claims such as "low fat", "high calcium" and "cholesterol-free" on the packaging, what is the content? I can't tell if I look at the labels.

Some manufacturers deliberately omit the main content or discard the suboptimal data, and label the nutritional content according to their own wishes, rather than the characteristics of the product itself, for example, some low-sugar products do not label the sugar content, but indicate the content of 3 vitamins. It is not uncommon for unscrupulous factories to deliberately mislead, exaggerate, and falsely describe nutritional information.
