| [ Summary ] | The background/introduction process for nutritional labeling standards in this country was investigated.In this county, some nutritional labeling has been done by corporations. However, from the viewpoint of the consumer, we may ask "Are these labeling standards more in favor of the producers ?" or "should we doubt the accuracy of the indicated values?". The necessity has arisen for international labeling standards, to take into account the different methods and processes used to compute the nutritional information. This must be done so that there is a concrete understanding of these labels problems encounterd after the introduction of nutritional labeling and with methods for its application were discussed, as well as methods for the future distribution of this information. |
