Food Labelling
Food labels help consumers make informed choices about what they eat. Food labels help to protect public health and safety by displaying important information such as expiry dates, ingredients, allergens, instructions for storage and use, and warning statements. Some foods have specific labelling and compositional standards for products sold in, or imported into Australia.
