food labeling
Nutritional information packaging
Food labeling is the practice of displaying information on packaged foods—ingredients, nutritional content, allergens, expiration dates, and serving sizes.
Government agencies regulate what must appear and how: The new food labeling requirements mandate calorie counts on front packaging.
Also spelled food labelling (British).
