Product details can vary depending on the type of product, but generally, labels provide information about the ingredients or materials used, positive and negative aspects of the product, and nutritional information. Here are some details on product labels based on the search results:

  • Food Labels: On food labels, the ingredient list must contain all ingredients, including those that make up compound ingredients. If an ingredient makes up less than 5% of the food, it does not have to be listed. The ingredient list can be useful when comparing different products. The cocoa solids in chocolate is an example of a characterizing component. Some foods do not have any characterizing ingredients or components, such as cheese or white bread.

  • Cleaning Supplies: Cleaning products often do not provide detailed information on the product labels. However, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) that manufacturers must provide under federal law can provide some information on cleaning ingredients. These documents are far from all-inclusive, however. The sheets are only required to list chemicals strongly linked to serious toxicity that account for more than 1 percent of the product’s weight and known or suspected carcinogens that account for more than one tenth of 1 percent (0.1 percent). The sheets can legally omit even hazardous chemicals if they are part of mixtures the company claims to be trade secrets.

  • Declare Labels: Declare labels report all product ingredients and use a simple color code to indicate the products compliance with the Living Building Challenge (LBC) Red List. The LBC Red List contains the “worst in class” materials, chemicals, and elements known to pose serious risks to human health and the greater ecosystem that are prevalent in the building products industry.

  • Food and Beverage Labels: Packaged foods and drinks include nutrition and ingredient information on their labels. The ingredients in packaged food and beverage items are listed separately from (and often below) the Nutrition Facts label. This information lists each ingredient in the product by its common or usual name, and in descending order by weight.

  • Pet Food Labels: An ingredient list is required to display all ingredients from most to least by weight. The biggest contributors are first and the smallest are last. Minor ingredients are mostly ingredients that supply minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. They may include a few recognizable names, but many will be “chemical-sounding.”

  • Cleaning Product Labels: Certain ingredients in cleaning products can present hazard concerns to exposed populations (e.g., skin and eye irritation in workers) or contribute to environmental problems. For example, ingredients containing phosphorus or nitrogen can contribute to nutrient-loading in water bodies, leading to adverse effects on water quality. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) in cleaning products can affect indoor air quality and also contribute to smog formation in outdoor air.

In summary, product labels can provide a lot of information about the ingredients or materials used, positive and negative aspects of the product, and nutritional information. However, the level of detail can vary depending on the type of product and the regulations that apply to it.
