With the potential to positively impact public health, FOP labeling contributes to the global effort to combat obesity, chronic diseases, and nutritional deficiencies. This article aims to provide an overview of FOP labeling requirements in several key F&B markets including EU, UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
