ABSTRACT Increasingly consumers desire information about their health, safety, environmental and socioeconomic characteristic of food products. Therefore consumers must use food labels to select products that meet their needs and preferences. The growing consumer and industry interest in food labels presents challenges for governments, which must ensure that the product information is accurate, truthful and not misleading to consumers. Governments must decide whether provision of information should be mandatory or voluntary. With the increase of global trade in food, there is a need to harmonize food labels so that product information is understood and relevant to foreign markets. |
