Detailed explanation-2: -The guide ‘Labelling of prepacked foods: ingredients list’ specifies certain foods that do not need an ingredients list. Any product that does not need an ingredients list must instead have a ‘contains’ statement, listing any allergens that are present-for example, ‘Contains: Fish, milk, eggs’.
