Nutritional Value Labeling Ordinance


Explanation:
Nutritional Value Labeling Ordinance:
Nutritional value labeling is not mandatory in Germany and other EU countries unless a nutrition claim is made on the label or in advertising messages. The EU Nutritional Value Labeling Directive 90/496/EEC establishes rules for the separate labeling of the caloric and nutritional values of foods. Though not mandatory for all foods, it establishes certain conditions, which must be fulfilled if the industry wishes to provide information that either emphasize a particularly low caloric content or a particularly high nutritional value of a certain food.

Ordinance on nutritional value of foodstuffs

An Ordinance to regulate the contents of labels on foodstuffs destined without further processing for the consumer showing the nutritional values. Article 5 prescribes the information to be stated on the label, such as fat, protein, calories, etc. Article 7 indicates violations of the Law. Annex 1 lists the admitted amount of vitamins and minerals. The Ordinance consists of 8 articles.

neutral  Christoph S: Ordinance wird in USA nicht benutzt (regulations). Ordinance ist hier immer nur 'local', nicht Federal oder State.

agree  Marina Aleyeva: This is the English translation I've seen in documents - but agree with Christoph: in the US, ordinance is a local regulation while this one was adopted by the Bundesrat.

Food labelling regulations


Explanation:
see http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1994/Uksi_19940804_en_1.htm -
This is the UK law (based on the EU directive).

The EU directive itself:
eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CONSLEG:2000L0013:20011218:EN:PDF

So the complete wording is "regulations on labelling, presentation and advertising of foodstuffs".
