Increasingly, consumers desire information about the health, safety, environmental and socio-economic characteristics of food products. These traits often cannot be detected by sight, smell or taste; therefore, consumers must use food labels to select products that meet their needs and preferences. The growing consumer and industry interest in food labels presents challenges for governments, which must ensure that the product information is accurate, truthful and not misleading to consumers. With the increase in global trade in food, there is also a need to harmonize food labels so that product information is relevant to foreign markets. Innovations in food labelling provides information about the principles and requirements of food labelling and reviews the latest trends in this important area.
