élelmiszercímkéket

élelmiszercímkéket, or food labels, are essential pieces of information printed or affixed to food packaging. They provide consumers with details about the product, its ingredients, nutritional value, and origin. The primary purpose of food labels is to ensure consumer safety and to allow informed purchasing decisions.

Key information typically found on an élelmiszercímkéket includes the product name, a list of ingredients in descending order by weight, and potential allergens, which are often highlighted for clarity. Nutritional information, presented in a standardized format, details the energy content (calories), macronutrients (fat, carbohydrates, protein), and often micronutrients like vitamins and minerals per serving. The net quantity of the food product and the manufacturer or packer's details are also mandatory.

Origin labeling is increasingly important, indicating where the food was produced or processed. Expiry dates, either "best before" or "use by," are crucial for food safety and quality. "Best before" dates indicate when the food is expected to retain its optimal quality, while "use by" dates are for perishable foods and signify a safety limit. Élelmiszercímkéket must comply with national and international food safety regulations to prevent misleading consumers and ensure public health. This standardization helps consumers navigate the marketplace and make healthier choices.
