What should be on food labelling?

I was just looking into information on food labels. I found the information here. Nutrition labelling may be given in two main formats, but must include the amount of any
nutrient for which a claim has been made.


The minimum declaration permitted is a "Group 1" declaration.

"Group 1" (also known as "Big 4") declaration
energy kJ and kcal
protein g
carbohydrate g
fat g


The other standard format is a "Group 2" declaration.

"Group 2" (also known as "Big 4 + little 4" and "4+4" declaration)
energy kJ and kcal
protein g
carbohydrate g
of which:
- sugars g
fat g
of which:
- saturates g
fibre g
sodium g


The Government recommends that Group 2 information be given on all foods, on a
voluntary basis, as this gives consumers information on the key health-related nutrients.
