In-depth guidance
Most prepacked foods must have an ingredients list. The list must be headed by the word 'ingredients' followed by a list of all the ingredients in descending order by weight at the mixing bowl stage of production. This means that the list goes from those ingredients that weighed the most to those ingredients that weighed the least when they were included in the product.
For more detailed information, please see 'Labelling of prepacked foods: ingredients list'.
