Some foods don’t require a nutrition information panel:
► a herb or spice, mineral water, tea and coffee (they have no significant nutritional value)
► foods sold unpackaged
► foods made and packaged at the point of sale, e.g. bread made and sold in a local bakery.
However, if a claim is made about any of these foods (for example, ‘good source of calcium’, ‘low fat’) a
nutrition information panel must be provided.
► foods in small packages, i.e. packages with a surface area of less than 100 mm squared (about the size of a larger chewing gum packet) are not required to have a nutrition information panel.
