Labels on pre-packaged food and drinks are changing due to a new European Regulation[1]. This new piece of legislation is designed to make food labelling easier for people to use.
It will take time to change all of the labels on every food and drink package,
and so for a while both the old and the new labels will be in the shops. Labels
have already started to change and nearly all of them will have changed by 13
December 2014.

of food information to consumers'.
