Most prepacked food will need a nutrition declaration that summarises how much of the product is made up of certain nutrients.
The nutrition declaration should be presented as a table. If there is not enough room on the label for a tabular format then the information can be presented in a linear format.
The following nutrients must be included:
- energy
- fat
- saturates
- carbohydrate
- sugars
- protein
- salt
The following may also be included:
- monounsaturates
- polyunsaturates
- polyols
- starch
- fibre
- vitamins and minerals (see below)
