What is the mandatory nutrition declaration, and where will consumers find it? Under the new rules, the energy content and amounts of fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein and salt, must all be stated in a legible tabular form on the packaging, together and in the same field of vision. Where space does not permit this, the information may be presented in linear format.

什麼是必要性營養說明,而消費者可在哪裡找到它?

在新規則的規定下,能量含量和脂肪總量,飽和脂肪,碳水化合物,醣類,蛋白質和鹽,在包裝上量都必須在同一個視野領域以一個清晰的表格形式表示。如果
空間不允許這樣的信息顯示則可以直線形式呈現。
