On Dec 16th, 2019, MFDS released the Guideline for Food Nutrition Labeling to help business operators label food products correctly. As revealed by this guideline, the compliance procedures can be divided into 10 steps as follows.
Compliance in Ten Steps
Check the product to see if it is labeled with the nutrition fact table
Decide the nutrients you want to display
Calculate the nutrient content
Ensure the unit for labeling
Calculate the nutrient content based on the unit
Calculate the proportion of NRV (nutrition reference value) needed in a day
Decide the position, format and size for the labeling
Display the nutrition fact table after step 7
Check the nutrient you want to emphasize to see if it has conformed to relevant requirements
Make the final confirmation
Besides, this guideline also provides a decision tree to help business operators find the labeling unit according to different packaging methods, etc. What’s more, a QA session is also attached.
