 Our second speaker is Ms. Sheeba Ikan, she talk about the Basic of Product Packsaging &

Labelling. According to her packaging and labelling is a big influence to the customer to try your

product. We learned how the packaging and labelling helps you to your product. Packaging serves as

container, it is convenience and also to be look presentable. Labelling gives the consumer information

about the product. She explained what types of packaging materials that used by the businesses, it can

be made of metal, paper board, glasses, plastic and flexible (combination of metal, paper board and

plastic). In a food primary packaging, it should be food grade or non toxic. She mentioned that, using

of creep paper as packaging is not good because the colour of it transfer to the food. So that we should

think of the best packaging for the product and considering the type, design, thickness and

compatibility. The 5 Rs are environmental issues on packaging that we might to consider. Ms.

Sheeba explained to us the food labelling guidelines, first is the brand name of the product. Make it

short, suitable, unique, creative, simple and memorable to the customer. Second the product name,

what is the exact name of the product. Third is the net content declaration, the amount of product in

the container or package, mostly in food. Fourth, complete list of ingredients in descending order of

predominance by weight means that the ingredient that weighs the most is listed first, and the

ingredient that weighs the least is listed last. Fifth, Food allergen info it is information that contain an

ingredient that has one of the following eight foods or food groups or an ingredient that contains

protein derived milk, egg, fish and Crustacean shellfish. Sixth, name and address of the manufacturer,

packer or distributor. Unless the name given is the actual manufacturer, it must be accompanied by a

qualifying phrase which states the firm's relation to the product and last is the expiration of the

product. It tells the store how long to display the product for sale. It is important for us to know the

guidelines of food labelling because as a consumer, we need to make wise choices about the food we

eat. Knowing how to read food labels also assures that we get more value for our money and protects

us from incorrect claims on the product packs. Other important information on food labels includes

allergy warnings which help consumers who have specific food allergies, to avoid those allergens that

may be present in specific food products. Stay happy, Stay healthy.
