Food science question

Q: a small package with a surface area less than 200cm2 needs the following labelling:

A.just ingredient. B, none, C. just the name of the food; D. just allergens

Answer 1

All the above may not be correct, except it is a pure food without added ingredients. In such cases, the name of food is enough on it's label.

The food product first needs to be labeled. U.S. Food and Drug Administration is a federal agency that governs the labeling of food, and their complex labeling regulations.

there are usually five elements a food packaging label needs to contain, unless a food producer is exempted from labeling their product.

Theseelements are:

statement of identity,

the product’s net weight,

manufacturer’s address,

nutrition facts, and

ingredients list and allergens if any

However, exceptions apply here as well. For example, if you are producing a single-ingredient food product, such as honey, you don’t need to include an ingredients list. There are exceptions to this as well. If you produce honey, but add sweeteners or some other ingredients, then you do need to include that information on your honey  label.
