The search results provide information on the ingredients or materials used in different products, including food, cosmetics, vaccines, and toothpaste/mouthwash. Here are some details on the ingredients or materials:
Food
- The food label provides information on what the food is, manufacturers details, nutrition information, ingredients, weights, and more.
- Some ingredients used in foods are called ‘compound ingredients’. These are ingredients made by a mixture of other ingredients. If an ingredient makes up less than 5% of the food, it does not have to be listed. Likewise, any compound ingredients that make up less than 5% of the product can just be listed as the compound ingredient rather than all of its own ingredients.
- The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommends that we limit our intake of foods containing saturated fat, added salt, added sugars, and alcohol.
Cosmetics
- The ingredient declaration may appear on any information panel of the package which is the outer container in form of a folding carton, box, wrapper, etc. if the immediate container is so packaged, or which is the jar, bottle, box, etc. if the immediate container is not packaged in an outer container. It may also appear on a tag, tape, or card firmly affixed to a decorative or small size container.
- There is a procedure for requesting exemption of an ingredient identity from public disclosure. The submission of information includes a cosmetic formulation or raw material composition statement, statement of factual and legal grounds justifying trade secrecy, and statement of prior non-disclosure. FDA reviews the submitted information to determine whether the data are sufficient to permit a review of the merits of the request.
Pharmaceuticals

Such substances are intended to furnish pharmacological activity or other direct effect in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease or to affect the structure and function of the body.
Vaccines
- The key ingredient in all vaccines is one or more active ingredients. Apart from this, the main ingredient in vaccines may include products used during the manufacturing process, even if they do not remain in the finished product. Added ingredients are present in very small quantities (usually a few milligrams). Products used in making vaccines or growing the active ingredients may not remain in the final vaccine at all. If they do, they are present only in trace amounts.
