Table 1.

Mandatory information for packaged sport foods, fortified or not. This table includes particular requirements for each mention.

Mention	Particular Requirements
Foodstuff designation	If the product has a legal name, it must be used in the label. In its absence, the customary name or a descriptive name of the food can replace it. It may not be replaced by trademark, brand name or fancy name.
Ingredients list	The list of ingredients must be preceded by a heading with the word «ingredients». The list must include the ingredients in descending order of weight, including flavourings, food additives and food enzymes, and any constituent of a compound ingredient, used in the manufacture or preparation of a food and still present in the finished product.
Quantity indication of certain ingredients or category of ingredients	The indication of the quantity of an ingredient or category of ingredients used in the manufacture or preparation of a food shall be required where the ingredient or category of ingredients appears in the name of the food or is usually associated with that name by the consumer; or when this ingredient is emphasized on the labelling in words, pictures or graphics; or when is essential to characterize a food and to distinguish it from products with which it might be confused because of its name or appearance.
Substances causing allergies or intolerances	Must be indicated in the list of ingredients with a clear reference to the name of the substance or product emphasized through a typeset that clearly distinguishes it from the rest of the ingredients, for example by means of the font, style or background color. In the absence of a list of ingredients, the indication of the particulars referred shall comprise the word ‘contains’ followed by the name of the substance or products.
Net quantity	It must be expressed using liters, centiliters, milliliters, kilograms or grams. These expressions could be changed in order to ensure a better understanding by the consumer of the food information on the labelling.
Minimum durability date, ‘use by’ date and date of freezing	In the case of foods which, from a microbiological point of view, are highly perishable and are therefore likely after a short period to constitute an immediate danger to human health, the date of minimum durability shall be replaced by the ‘use by’ date.
Storage conditions or conditions of use	This information must be included when foods require special storage conditions and/or conditions of use. It could refer to appropriate storage or use of the food after opening the package, the storage conditions and/or time limit for consumption.
Manufacturer’s name and address	The company name and the address must be indicated.
Country of origin or place of provenance	Indication of the country of origin or place of provenance shall be mandatory to food business operators whenever its absence might to mislead consumers as to the true country of origin or place of provenance of that product, in particular if the information accompanying the food or the label as a whole would otherwise imply that the food has a different country of origin or place of provenance. Also, where the country of origin or the place of provenance of a food is given and it is not the same as that of its primary ingredient, the country of origin or place of provenance of the primary ingredient shall also be given; or (b) the country of origin or place of provenance of the primary ingredient shall be indicated as being different to that of the food.
Instructions for use	This information must be indicated to enable appropriate use to be made of the food, if it is necessary.
Nutritional information	The mandatory nutrition for sport foods must include the following: energy value and the amounts of fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt. Where appropriate, a statement indicating that the salt content is exclusively due to the presence of naturally occurring sodium may appear in close proximity to the nutrition declaration. The content of the mandatory nutrition declaration may be supplemented with an indication of the amounts of one or more of the following: monounsaturated fats; polyunsaturated fats; polyols; starch; fiber; any of the vitamins or minerals listed in the Regulation, present in significant amounts and expressed as a percentage of the maximum daily intakes set out in this Regulation. This information must be expressed per 100 g or per 100 mL. In addition, to the form of expression per 100 g or per 100 mL, the nutritional information may be expressed per portion or per consumption unit when it is easily recognizable by the consumer (for example per energy bar) or when portion size is referred in the label. In these cases, the information “per portion or per consumption unit” alone is permitted, however, the energy value shall be expressed per 100 g or 100 mL.
