Language and legibility requirements

Each word, statement, expression or design prescribed under the Food Code to be set
out in a label must be set out legibly and prominently so as to afford a distinct contrast
to the background and in the English language. Where a language other than English
is used in addition to the English language on a label or in association with the display
of food, the information in that other language must not negate or contradict the
information on the label in the English language.

Any warning statement must be set out:

in a font size of not less than 3mm; or


in the case of a small package (i.e. with a surface area of less than 100cm2), in a
font size of not less than 1.5mm.
