A
Easy to read

Permanent
C
Easily visible-the font must not be too small
D
Not misleading-the product inside must like it does on the picture on the front of packaging
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All food is subject to general food labelling requirements and any labelling provided must be accurate and not misleading.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nutrition labels must display the amount of energy (calories and kilojoules) and the amount of fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, proteins and salt (all expressed in grams) present in 100g (or 100 ml) of the food.

Detailed explanation-3: -Manufacturers are often dishonest in the way they use these labels. They tend to use health claims that are misleading and in some cases downright false. Examples include many high-sugar breakfast cereals like whole-grain Cocoa Puffs. Despite what the label may imply, these products are not healthy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nutrition information labels can help you choose between products and keep a check on the amount of foods you’re eating that are high in fat, salt and added sugars. Most pre-packed foods have a nutrition information label on the back or side of the packaging.
