Nutrition labels are found on many types of foods based on certain criteria.  This type of nutrition label is intended to improve the overall health of the general population and allow consumers to make wise choices when it comes to their food.

Why is Nutrition Food Labeling So Important These Days? 

Consumers are extremely health-conscious and care about what is in their food.  They want to select products based on how it was produced and manufactured.  The food package label allows them to understand more about the food contents and if it fits their personal needs before deciding to purchase.  Some are conscious about allergens, some about the carbon footprint, some about nutrition facts and others about origins of the ingredients.  Information about the product of particular interest include, date of manufacture, shelf-life, the amount of sugar, calorie content, fat content, and whether any ingredients are genetically modified, natural or organic. Nutrition food labels can help them make an informed decision.

That is why many food manufacturers, no matter their size, attach  nutrition labels to their food packaging. As a food manufacturer, one can use a food labeling solution, to create nutrition labels. When selecting a system, make sure to use a robust online nutrition food label creation solution that can create labels for food packages.  Make sure they meet the US FDA CFR guidelines and/or the Canada Guidelines by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
