ainesosatietoa

Ainesosatieto is the Finnish term for information about the ingredients of a product. It is provided to help consumers understand what a product contains, assess safety, and make informed choices based on dietary needs, allergies, or personal preferences. The information is typically found on packaging and in accompanying product documentation or on official websites.

In Finland and across the European Union, ainesosatieto is regulated to be clear and accessible. For foods, the ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight at the time of manufacture, and allergens must be clearly identifiable, often emphasised in the list. Additives may be shown by common names or codes, such as E-numbers. If there is a potential for cross-contamination with common allergens, this may also be noted on the label.

Cosmetics and other regulated products also require ainesosatieto. The ingredient list is usually presented on packaging and should reflect the composition of the product. Fragrance allergens and certain restricted substances must be disclosed when present. The aim is to enable consumers to assess suitability and avoid any substances they wish to exclude.

Online and on product pages, ainesosatieto is often provided in a dedicated ingredient section, allowing consumers to view the full list and details. Reading these lists helps with allergy checks, dietary compliance, and product comparisons.

Tips for consumers include checking for known allergens, noting added vitamins or substances of concern, and comparing ingredient lists across similar products to choose options that best fit individual needs.
