Nutritional values on pack mandatory from 13 December 2016
From 13 December 2016 the indication of nutritional values on food labels is mandatory as Article 9, paragraph 1, letter l of EU Reg. 1169/2011 entered into force. Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers (FIC) was adopted in October 2011, and entered into force in December 2011.
The Regulation brings general and nutrition labelling together into a single piece of legislation to simplify and consolidate existing labeling provisions and applies to all food products sold in the EU. Every company selling on the EU market must comply, even if the company itself is based outside of the European Union (FoodIngredients1st, 13 December 2016).
