Purpose
This Guidance explains the nutrition-related requirements under Regulation
(EU) No. 1169/2011 on the provision of food information to consumers
(hereinafter referred to as EU FIC).
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 FICproduced by the European Commission.
Status
This Guidance has been produced with the aim of providing informal, nonstatutory 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. Ultimay, 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.
You may also choose to contact trade associations such as the British Retail
Consortium (BRC) and the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) for advice on
nutrition labelling issues relating to your sector.
