Understanding labelling rules

What food is labelled? Food that is already packaged when the customer makes their choice in most cases will need to be labelled. Whether food is labelled generally depends on when the food was packed. Was it before or after the customer chose the food to buy ? If the food was wrapped or packaged before the customer had the opportunity to select the food to buy then the food must be labelled.
