DEFINITION OF LABELS

The label is one part of the product. The label consists of information
represented in words or in the form of images where its role as a source of
information about the product is complete with the seller. The label on the product
usually consists of the name or simply the brand of the product. It can also be in
the form of information about the ingredients or composition of the product, raw
materials, nutritional information, product content, expiry date to validity
information. In short, the meaning and function of the product label can be seen
from the content of the label itself. In general, the label is the important information
stated on the product. In Malaysia, embedding the product's internal label is
regulated in the Food Regulations 1985 which contain labeling.

A label on food is any information about the food in the form of pictures,
writing, or a combination of the two or other forms that is also attached to the food
or included in it, attached to the food or can also be part of the packaging itself.

Labels are part of the product in the form of information, both images and
words, which serve as a source of product and seller information. Labels generally
contain information in the form of product name or brand, raw materials, additional
ingredients, nutritional information, expiration date, product content and validity
information. Provisions on product labeling are regulated in the Food Regulations
1985, MS 1500:2019, MPPHM 2020 on labelling.

FUNCTION OF FOOD LABELING REGULATIONS

 To ensure that consumers receive sufficient information about food products to

make the right personal choices, whether these choices are economic,
philosophical or health related,
 To enable users to make comparisons between competing products,
 In order to avoid food that consumers may be allergic to,

11
 To confirm the status of an ingredient as halal, haram or doubtful for example a
product containing pork fat, it is haram, a product containing gelatin, it is doubtful
(if the source of the gelatin is not disclosed).

TYPES OF LABELS

According to Marinus (2002:192), there are three types of labels based on

their function, which are as follows:

1. A brand label is the use of a label that is solely used as a brand.

2. A grade label is a label that indicates a certain quality level of an item. This
label is expressed with some writing or words.
3. 3. Descriptive Label (Descriptive Label) is objective information about the use,
construction, maintenance of appearance and other characteristics of the
product.

While according to Simamora (2000:502), labels are classified into several

types, which are as follows:

1. Product label (product label) is part of the packaging of a product that

contains information about the product or the sale of the product.
2. Brand label (brand label) is the brand name placed on the packaging of the
product.
3. The level label (grade label) states the quality of the product, this label can
consist of letters, numbers or other methods to show the quality level of the
product itself.
4. Descriptive label (descriptive label) describes the content, use and
characteristics of the product. Labeling is a very important product element
that deserves equal attention with the aim of attracting consumers.

4) (4) Notwithstanding sub regulation (3), the total amount of sugar in the
following form shall be written on the label on the ready-to-drink beverage
package:
“Carbohydrates.................g
Amount of sugar.................g".
(4A)For the purposes of this regulation, the reference to "sugar" shall be a
reference to all monosaccharides and disaccharides contained in food
either naturally or added.
5) If a declaration is made about the amount or type of fatty acids, the amount
of fatty acids, the amount of saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated
and trans fatty acids must be declared in the following form, as applicable:
“Fat.................g
which consists of
monounsaturated fatty acids.................G

(NRN); or
(huh)if the vitamins and minerals are not included under paragraph (a),
their content must be in an amount not less than the amount in
reference to the quantity of a food specified in Register II to the Twelfth
Schedule; or
(b) if the vitamins and minerals are not included under paragraph (a) or
(aa), with the written approval of the Director; and
(c) only vitamins and minerals found in no less than 5 perator of the
Nutrient Reference Value (NRN) are supplied through one serving as
stated in the quantity on the label.
10) Numerical information about vitamins and minerals must be expressed in
metric units per 100g or per 100ml or per package if the package contains
only one portion and one serving as stated in the quantity on the label. In
addition, this information can be expressed as a percentage of the
Nutrient Reference Value (NRN) per 100g or per 100ml or per package if
the package only contains one portion of one serving as stated in the
quantity on the label.
If the numerical information about the vitamins and minerals has been
expressed as a percentage of the Nutrient Reference Value (NRN), the
following Nutrient Reference Value (NRN) should be used for labeling
purposes: Nutrient Reference Value (NRN) Vitamin A (µg) 800

Iodine (µg) 150
Choline (mg) 550
11) So the amount of cholesterol and sodium, or dietary fiber can be written
on the food package label in the following way:
(a) the amount of cholesterol and sodium must be stated in mg per 100g or
per 100ml or per package if the package contains only one portion and
one serving as stated in the quantity on the label; and
(b) the amount of dietary fiber should be stated in g per 100g or per 100ml
or per package if the package contains only one portion and one
serving as stated in the quantity on the label.
12) If a food other than the food specified in subregulation (2) contains
nutrition labelling, subregulation (3) shall apply to that labelling.
13) If a food makes a nutrition claim, it is also mandatory to include nutrition
labeling as specified in subregulation (3) and the amount of any other
nutrients for which a nutrition claim is made in respect of the food.

3) If a food is naturally low in content or free from the nutrients that are the
subject of the declaration, the term that describes the level of that nutrient
should not precede the name of the food but should be in the following

29
 form, that is, "food that is low in (name of nutrients)" or "free food (nutrient
name)".

4. CONCLUSION
Label is a product-specific term that refers to the product's name, packaging,
composition, ingredients, packaging, labeling, and safety features. In Malaysia,
a label is defined as an important part of a product's packaging. Labels are
used to show the quality of a product, to prevent misleading claims, to
distinguish different products, to avoid allergic reactions, and to determine the
status of halal or safe products.
There are three types of labels: brand, grade, and descriptive. A brand is the
use of a single label as a product name. Grade is a label that shows the quality
of a product, while descriptive is an objective label that describes the use,
production, packaging, and other aspects of a product. Labeling is an important
product element that provides a clear understanding of its characteristics and
benefits for consumers. The rules or laws used for labeling are MS 1500:2019,
FOOD ACT 1983 and FOOD REGULATION 1985.
From the 2 (two) food packages we took as an example, both comply with
the applicable laws. As stipulated in MS 1500:2019, FOOD ACT 1983 and
FOOD REGULATION 1985.
