Technical Guidance on Nutritional Labelling

This is a living document, which will be reviewed periodically and topics will be added as necessary. It will be amalgamated with technical guidance on general labelling and allergens issues once this is available.

This Guidance should be read in conjunction with the separate Q&A guidance on EU FIC produced by the European Commission.

Status
This Guidance has been produced with the aim of providing informal, non- statutory advice and should be read in conjunction with EU FIC (relevant sections of which are referred to as appropriate). It is not exhaustive.

The notes and examples in this Guidance should not be taken as an authoritative statement or interpretation of the law. Ultimately, the decision as to whether or not a particular aspect of nutrition labelling is acceptable is for the courts and tribunals.

It is the responsibility of individual organisations to ensure their compliance with the law. You may wish to seek advice from your Home or Primary Authority.
