 === What labelling do I need for dried seaweed sold as a food ingredient (not a supplement)? ===
-Dried seaweed sold as a food must be labelled in compliance with Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 (FIC): name of the food, list of ingredients, allergens, net quantity, best-before date, storage conditions, business operator name and address, country of origin or place of provenance (mandatory for seaweed under CMO Regulation 1379/2013), and nutrition declaration. If sold to consumers directly: language requirements in the language(s) of the member state(s) of sale apply. For seaweed sold as a food (not supplement), the claims and maximum dose rules applicable to supplements do not apply, but health claims still require authorisation under 1924/2006. For aquaculture-produced seaweed, the CMO Regulation (1379/2013) requires specific information: commercial designation, production method (farmed), and production area. → See [[algae:food:labelling|Labelling]] and [[algae:aquaculture|Aquaculture]].
