Labels provide important information about products. They are usually found on the back of items and allow consumers to make informed decisions. Specifically, labels contain details like the name of the product, ingredients, nutrition facts, storage instructions, and expiration dates. This helps users choose suitable and safe foods/medicines while avoiding any negative effects. Many governments require labels on packaged foods to promote transparency.
