Among the labeling requirements are a list of ingredients and their weight and volume. In addition, nutritional information must be listed by 100 g or 100 mL per serving. Other requirements include a listing of the amount of protein, carbohydrates and fat in grams in a product, as well as a declaration of trans fats if they are present. Raw agricultural commodities are excluded from the requirements.
