Philippines label requirements — check your label

What a label sold in Philippines must carry for food and drinks, other consumer goods, item by item, each with the law it comes from. Paste your label below: Drict shows what it found, on which line, and what is missing.

Your points to check appear here.

Drict looks for the items each label law names, by key words. It is not legal advice and does not say a label is compliant: read the official text, and ask the authority or a specialist before you print.
