Sample question
NutriGrain Australia is preparing to launch a new high-protein breakfast bar. Under the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code, the product label must display a Nutrition Information Panel (NIP). Which of the following statements about NIP requirements is correct?
- A. The NIP must list energy, protein, total fat, saturated fat, total carbohydrate, sugars, sodium, and any nutrient for which a claim is made.
- B. The NIP must list energy and protein only, with all other nutrients declared voluntarily.
- C. The NIP must include a daily percentage intake column, which is mandatory for all packaged foods.
- D. The NIP is only required when a nutrition content claim, such as 'high protein', appears on the label.
Show the worked answer
Answer: A
Standard 1.2.8 of the Food Standards Code mandates that every NIP must include a core set of nutrients: energy, protein, total fat, saturated fat, total carbohydrate, sugars, and sodium — plus any nutrient that is the subject of a nutrition claim. Option B is wrong because only listing energy and protein is insufficient. Option C is wrong because the %DI column is voluntary, not mandatory. Option D is wrong because the NIP is required on virtually all packaged foods regardless of whether a claim is made.
