Front-of-Package labeling

Front-of-Package (FOP) labeling is a simplified nutrition label placed prominently on the front of food packages. Its purpose is to quickly communicate key nutritional information, such as calorie content, sugar, or fat levels, to help consumers make healthier choices without needing to read detailed nutrition facts. These labels often use symbols, color codes, or simple icons to convey whether a product is high or low in certain nutrients. FOP labeling aims to improve transparency, encourage healthier eating habits, and enable consumers to compare products easily at a glance.
