Imagine you pick up a packet of biscuits at the shop. You want to know how much sugar is in it, whether it contains nuts, or when it will go bad. Where do you look? On the back or side of the packet, there is a printed panel — that is the food label. Food labeling requirements are the legal rules that tell manufacturers exactly what information must appear on that label, and how it must be presented.
In everyday life, a label is just a sticker. But in commerce and law, it is a binding document. The government (in India, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, or FSSAI) mandates these requirements so that you, the consumer, are not misled and can make informed choices. Without these rules, a company could hide harmful ingredients, exaggerate health benefits, or sell expired food.
The core idea is transparency. The label must tell the truth about what is inside the package. Here is what the law typically requires on every packaged food product:
- Name of the food – what it is called (e.g., "Whole Wheat Biscuits").
- List of ingredients – everything used to make it, listed in descending order by weight. The ingredient present in the largest amount comes first.
- Net quantity – how much food is actually inside (by weight, volume, or number).
- Date of manufacture and expiry/best-before date – so you know its freshness and safety.
- Nutritional information – a table showing energy (calories), protein, carbohydrates, fats, and other nutrients per serving.
- Name and address of the manufacturer – so you can contact them if there is a problem.
- Vegetarian or non-vegetarian logo – a green dot for vegetarian, a red/brown dot for non-vegetarian. This is unique to India and helps people follow dietary preferences.
- FSSAI license number – proof that the product is legally approved for sale. …
Correct answer: (d) Labelling.
Labelling is the part of the product mix that involves designing and putting the label (the written/printed information) on the product or its package. Labels carry the brand name, contents, directions for use, and often grade designations (such as grade/quality marks). Through these grade labels, labelling helps in grading and classifying products by quality. Hence labelling is the prod …

Labeling specifically refers to printing or attaching identification and informational marks (brand name, contents, manufacturing details, instructions) onto a product's package — distinct from the acts of branding (naming/identifying the product) or packaging (designing the container itself).
Labeling is the practice of designing and attaching a label — which may carry the brand name, manufacturer's details, contents/ingredients, date of manufacture/expiry, price, and usage instructions — directly onto a product's package. Its core purpose is to put identification and descriptive marks on the package so the consumer can identify and get information about the product.

Packaging means designing and producing the container or wrapper of a product. It is important for several reasons — the question asks for one point, so the clearest is:

A label is the descriptive information printed on or attached to a product's package. It serves several real purposes: it helps identify the product and its brand; it grades the product (e.g., by quality or size); it describes essential facts such as contents, manufacturing/expiry date, directions for use, price, and net quantity, which helps the buyer make an informed choice; and it promotes the product through attractive presentation.

›Reveal solutionSolution
Labelling is the element of the product mix that carries descriptive information about a product to the consumer — it is distinct from packaging (which protects/contains the product), branding (which gives the product an identity/name), and goodwill (which is the reputation a business earns over time).
A label may appear directly on the product, on its package, or as a tag tied to it, and typically communicates details such as the brand name, ingredients/contents, manufacturing date, expiry/best-before date, batch number, MRP, net weight, directions for use, and any safety warnings or statutory information required by law (for example, under the Legal Metrology Act or, for food products specifically, the FSSAI labelling rules). This is why labelling is described as the "carrier of information" — it is literally the medium through which the manufacturer passes essential facts about the product on to the buyer, helping consumers make informed choices and also helping consumer-protection and quality-control authorities verify what is being so …
