Food labelling (Regulation 1169/2011)

Regulation 1169/2011 sets mandatory food information, including allergens, name, ingredients list and nutrition declaration. Presentation must not mislead as to characteristics, composition or health effects.

Supplements add national rules and a ban on attributing medicinal properties. Front-of-pack errors are more common than table errors.

RASFF and GIS inspections often start from the label. Audit: supplemental.pl.
