EU food labeling rules for exporters

A food label for the European Union and the UK needs a nutrition declaration per 100 g / 100 ml, an ingredient list with allergens emphasised, and the mandatory particulars — in the destination language.

The nutrition declaration

The declaration is given per 100 g or 100 ml in an accepted layout. A per-portion column may be added.

Allergens and ingredients

Allergens are emphasised within the ingredient list — typically in bold — rather than in a separate 'contains' line.

Mandatory particulars and language

Name, net quantity, durability date, storage, business operator and country of origin where required, in the language of the market you sell into.
