3.1 General standards for labelling

Labelling of products is very important. Right and key information help the consumers identify the products they need and allow effective use of products. This category of standards applies; to the labelling of foods to be offered as such to the consumer; to food additives and processing aids and to Foods for Special Dietary Uses.

-RS CODEX STAN1, General standard for the labelling of Pre-Packaged Foods

-RS CODEX STAN 107, General standard for the labeling of Food Additives when sold as such

-RS CODEX STAN 146, General standard for the labeling and claims for prepackaged foods for special dietary uses

3.6 Fortified products

Sometimes the staple foods of a region can lack particular nutrients, due to the soil of a region, or because of the inherent inadequacy of the normal diet. Addition of micronutrients to staples and condiments can prevent large-scale deficiency diseases in these cases. Therefore, these standards for fortified staple foods and condiments will argue producers and processors of mentioned fortified staple foods to meet the micronutrient levels and safety requirements.
