Nutritional Labelling

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, India, had, on 19 th September 2008, notified the Prevention of Food Adulteration (5 th Amendment) Rules, 2008, mandating packaged food manufacturers to declare on their product labels nutritional information and a mark from the FPO and/ or Agmark (Companies that are responsible for checking food products) to enable consumers make informed choices while purchasing. Prior to this amendment, disclosure of nutritional information was largely voluntary though many large manufacturers tend to adopt the international practice.

Under Nutritional Labelling Profile, TQS Global would ascertain the parameters which are essential to be mentioned on all food items sold. This is done as per the Government of India’s Nutritional Labelling Act.

TQS Global can also do an elaborate study of your existing product line to find out other parameters such as Dietary Fiber, Cholesterol, total Carbohydrates, Protein, sodium etc.
