ingredient labeling
Food package information
Ingredient labeling is the practice of listing a product's components on its packaging, typically required by law for food, drugs, and cosmetics.
Labels usually order ingredients by quantity and may highlight allergens or additives: Check the ingredient labeling for hidden sugars.
The practice enables consumers to make informed choices about what they consume.
