On a food label, there is a Nutrition Facts box, which details what kind of nutrients are contained within the food. There is also an ingredients list, so that people with a specific food allergy can read the list and determine if it is safe to eat the food.

U.S. regulations explain quite a bit about what belongs on a food label. See Related Links for FDA's Food Labeling Guide.

There is the Principal Display Panel which includes the statement of identity and the net contents. Then you have the information panel which should have the nutrition panel, ingredient statement and the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor.
