A food nutrition label is a description of the nutritional properties of food to consumers, including content claims, comparison claims and functional claims. Through the nutrition label, it can provide consumers with scientific nutrition basis and guide consumption correctly. The United States, Canada, the European Union, China and Hong Kong and other countries and regions have formulated corresponding laws and regulations to make clear requirements for the labeling of nutrition labels.
In order to ensure that your products meet the requirements of the nutrition label of the trading country when you export, PTTS can provide you with national nutrition label testing services.
