    The Food Information for Consumers Regulation has recently overhauled the food labelling system.

All ingredients must be listed by order of weight and in at least the minimum font size, making them clearly apparent to consumers.

    In addition, nutrition labelling of pre-packed foods, including the amount of total sugars, will be mandatory from 13 December 2016. It will supplement the ingredient information on food labels. Some parts of the food industry already provide nutrition information.
