Abstract

Food labels serve as the statutory identity markers and information interfaces for prepackaged foods, directly ensuring food safety traceability and safeguarding consumers' right to know. This paper examines the hierarchical relationship among mandatory requirements in current laws and national standards from both legal logic and compliance practice perspectives. Focusing on critical issues such as ingredient list authenticity, nutritional data accuracy, functional claim boundaries, and allergen warnings, it dissects compliance challenges and legal vulnerabilities encountered by enterprises during implementation. It proposes that, based on improving top-level standard design, enterprises should establish full-lifecycle internal control defense systems and social co-governance mechanisms.
