Regulation has generated so many doubts that the European Commission itself has made a <a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/food\/food\/labellingnutrition\/foodlabelling\/docs\/qanda_application_reg1169-2011_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guide of questions and answers<\/a> regarding its application to clarify some of the points that aroused doubts.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">With the application of the new standard, new <strong>errors<\/strong> have been added to the normally observed errors in the <strong>labelling of food products. What are the most common mistakes?<\/strong><\/div>\n<h4 class=\"titulo-secundario-naranja\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Top 5<\/h4>\n<h5 class=\"subtitulo-naranja\"><strong>1. Name of the food<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Article 17 of the Regulation states: \u201cThe name of the food shall be its legal name. In the absence of such a name, the name of the food shall be its customary name, or, if there is no customary name or the customary name is not used, a descriptive name of the food shall be provided.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">When there is a legal designation for food, no doubt arises: coffee is called coffee, and no room is left for disputes.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Doubts arise with the <strong>customary name<\/strong>, in other words, any name that is accepted as the name of the food, so that consumers in the Member State in which it is sold so not need further explanation. In this case we must interpret what the consumer understands without explanation, and <strong>the fact that there are other products on the market that are called in the same way, does not mean that this name is accepted as a common name.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>In this case, therefore, it is safest to choose a descriptive name of the product, even if it is not so commercially attractive.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Faced with this problem, many food operators choose to replace the descriptive name to a more attractive trade name, and in this situation problems occur, because in many cases commercial or fancy names are very similar to the legal name, and creates confusion to the consumer. Result: wrong product labelling.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"subtitulo-naranja\"><strong>2. Address of the food business operator<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">The address must include street, city, postal code and country. Otherwise, it will be incomplete. At this point it is important not to complicate something that is relatively easy because it could create problems \u00a0in customer supplier relationships (mainly when the product is made by a third party).<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"subtitulo-naranja\"><strong>3. The date of minimum durability or the \u2018use by\u2019 date<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">On some labels, the date of minimum durability, it is not next to the phrase \u2018Best before \u2026\u2019 \/ \u2018Best before end \u2026\u2019 but is found elsewhere on the label.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">When this occurs, indicate where on the label we can find it. Eg <strong>\u201c\u2018Best before \u2026 \/ \u2018Best before end \u2026: see plug\u201d.<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>4. List of ingredients<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">Two main errors observed in the list of ingredients:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2022 <strong>Labelling of certain substances or products causing allergies or intolerances.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">According to the Regulations, the name of the substance or product as listed in Annex II <strong>s<\/strong><strong>hall be emphasized through a typeset<\/strong><strong> that clearly distinguishes it from the rest of the list of ingredients,<\/strong> for example by means of the font, style or background colour. The aim is that people with allergies or intolerances can easily detect that the food is safer for them.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">The common error observed in the labels is that allergens are not highlighted or the label is made incorrectly.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2022 <strong>Quantitative indication of ingredients<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">It is necessary to indicate the quantity of an ingredient when:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">(a) it appears in the name of the food or <strong>is usually associated with that name by the consumer<\/strong>;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">(b) it is <strong>emphasised on the labelling<\/strong> in words, pictures or graphics; or<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">(c) it is <strong>essential to characterise a food <\/strong>and to distinguish it from products from which it might be confused because of its name or appearance.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">At this point, it is common practice to omit including in the list of ingredients the percentage of products that appear in the pictures of the label, or as part of the name of the food. Doubt also arises: when is an ingredient essential to characterize the food? Again, there is no regulation in this regard and we must turn to the interpretation of the standard.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"subtitulo-naranja\"><strong>5. Nutritional information.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\">\u2022 <strong>Nutritional table<\/strong><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:

style=\"text-align: justify\">The table must conform to the following:<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/div>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"352\" cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\"
