As consumers are becoming increasingly health conscious, they rely on product labels as a way of differentiating between various foods and brands to make informed food choices.
The food label is the primary method of communicating product information between companies and their consumers. It provides basic product information, as well as nutritional and safety details, and acts as a vehicle for marketing and advertising.

The European Regulation 1169/2011 was published on the 25th October 2011 and combines all previous EU regulations related to general food labelling, which over the years have become extremely complex.
It is in the process of being enforced in two stages:
From December 13, 2014: Products sold on the market have to comply with the Regulation (the nutrition declaration is still on a voluntary basis unless a specific product claim is made, but from the 13th December it must appear in the new format as detailed below).
By December 16, 2016: Total application of the regulation must be in place: including nutritional labelling which will be mandatory.
Changes related to the Regulation | The new requirements:
There have been changes made to the mandatory requirements - these requirements must be easily visible, legible, indelible and have a minimum font size of 1.2mm
Allergens must be emphasized in the list of ingredients using a specific type set that clearly distinguishes them from the rest of the ingredients
The trade name, net quantity and actual alcoholic strength of alcoholic beverages containing more than 1.2% alcohol by volume, should be in the same visual field

The nutrition declaration (with exceptions) must be listed in a specific order and in a unique presentation: energy, fat, fatty acids, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and salt
The country of origin is extended to certain meats
