According to Article 9 (1) (l) in connection with Article 55 of Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 (FIC), a nutrition declaration has been mandatory on pre-packaged foods since 13.12.2016. Exempt from the mandatory nutrition declaration are foods listed in Annex V (e.g. tea, spices) of the FIC as well as beverages with an alcohol content >1.2 % vol.
If a nutrition declaration is voluntarily provided, it must comply with the requirements of the FIC. Consideration must also be given to requirements for specific foods such as mineral water, food supplements, or dietary foods.
