View Full Version : Food ingredients listings.

Can anyone help me with a question?

I was under the impression that all food sold in the UK had to have clear ingredients listed on the packaging, in the order of 'greatest first'.

The reason I ask, is that I purchased some 'Pepsi Light' from a well known German-owned budget-supermarket, and the ingredients listing is only in German. Surely this shouldn't happen?

I realise ingredients aren't mandatory on goods which are prepared in the location they sold (bakeries, cafes, takeaway outlets etc.), but would appreciate some clarification.

(For those of you wondering what I was doing in said establishment, I was coerced into going there; I can assure you I'm normally a Sainsbury's kinda guy!) ;)

That was my understanding too, K.

Those ones always seem to taste better than normal ones.
