The authenticity of a food product is determined by the degree of match it establishes between ingredients present and ingredients labelled. With increasing number of nutritional products available at user’s disposal; the consumers are increasingly interested to know the constituents in the products they consume, along with its origin, processes undergone and other such factors that may have a direct impact on their health.

The regulators mandate that food products must be labelled for nutrition. Along with these, most countries have laid down guidelines and regulations to standardise nutritional labelling.
