Label and Claims Concepts 2 articles

Label and Claims Concepts covers the language and declarations used to describe a food or supplement on packaging, including nutrient-content claims, absence claims, ingredient statements, and front-of-pack wording. These phrases should be checked against the underlying Nutrition Facts or Supplement Facts panel, ingredient list, and applicable conditions of use. A claim such as zero sugar or no added sugar describes a defined labeling concept; it is not itself an ingredient, nutrient, or certification and should not be read as one.
