nutritional labeling
Package dietary information
Nutritional labeling is the practice of displaying information about a food product's contents—calories, fats, proteins, vitamins, and other nutrients—on its packaging.
In many countries, standardized nutritional labeling is required by law: Check the nutritional labeling before you buy.
The term also refers to the labels themselves.
