What EU Food Information to Consumers Regulation 1169/2011 - Mandatory Labelling, Allergen Disclosure, and Nutrition Declaration requires
Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the provision of food information to consumers (FIC Regulation) establishes mandatory labelling and information requirements for pre-packaged food placed on the EU market. Article 9 sets out the mandatory particulars that must appear on all pre-packaged food including the name of the food, the list of ingredients, allergen information, net quantity, minimum durability date, storage conditions, contact details of the responsible business operator, country of origin for specified foods, and the nutritional declaration. Annex II lists 14 allergens that must be highlighted in the ingredients list and identified in all forms of presentation. Article 30 requires a mandatory nutrition declaration (energy, fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, salt) per 100g or 100ml for most pre-packaged foods. Article 13 sets minimum font size requirements (1.2mm x-height) for mandatory particulars. The FIC Regulation also governs distance selling information requirements, voluntary nutrition information, and protected designation of origin claims. Non-pre-packaged food and food supplied by caterers is subject to allergen information requirements under Article 44.
