The search results provide information on product details, including ingredients or materials, for different types of products. Here are some key takeaways:
-
Food Labels: Food labels provide information on what the food is, manufacturers details, nutrition information, ingredients, weights, and more. All ingredients must be listed in descending order by weight, including added water. If an ingredient makes up less than 5% of the food, it does not have to be listed. Manufacturers can make various claims regarding the content of their product, but these claims are regulated by the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code Standard 1.2.7 Nutrition, health and related claims.
-
Safer Choice Label: To earn permission to place the Safer Choice label on products, a manufacturer must disclose all product ingredients. A product is only allowed to carry the Safer Choice label if each ingredient is among the safest in its ingredient class. Additionally, the product as a whole has to meet safety criteria and qualify as high-performing and be packaged in an environmentally friendly manner. All products that carry the Safer Choice label must meet other environment-conscious criteria, such as sustainable packaging requirements and restrictions on levels of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) .
-
Meat and Poultry Products: The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service provides labeling ingredients guidance and inspection methods to protect consumers from misbranding. Additives in meat and poultry products are regulated, and there are different classes of approved antimicrobial agents. All ingredients must be disclosed either on the product or the manufacturer’s website.
-
Drug Products: The FDA requires that animal-derived ingredients be controlled in a manner to ensure that contamination does not occur, beginning with initial collection and continuing through processing, packaging, and distribution. The FDA also has regulations in place for testing and approval/rejection of components, drug product containers, and closures, as well as general requirements for production and process controls.
In summary, product details, including ingredients or materials, are regulated for different types of products, and manufacturers are required to disclose this information to consumers.
