The food label is an important communication tool that provides consumers with information about a product's composition, nutritional profile, and quantity of contents so that they can make product comparisons and selections. Consumers want this label information presented in an easy-to-understand and transparent way.

Nutrition labels state how many calories and nutrients are in a standard amount of the product — often a suggested single serving.
Misleading labels can contain anything from misleading “green” claims or false “all-natural” claims to mislead organic claims or “raised without antibiotics” claims.
