What information would you like to see on product labels?

Question

When I look at a product label, food and drinks especially, I just see legalese that's a requirement and no more. Some random competitions are sometimes also provided but overall labels are pretty boring.What information would you like to see on a product label?In my mind I have: ingredient information, producer information (farm details for example), CO2 production output, how recyclable are the materials based on a color scale.

I&rsquo;m from Australia, I really like how we always show the 100g/100ml breakdown of ingredients, not just &ldquo;serving size&rdquo;.This lets you easily compare across products with different sizes.See https://www.wholekids.com.au/wp-content/uploads/australian-f...

CO2 footprint would be nice, but CO2 isn't only environmental factor to consider. I'd rather have colour-coded stickers with two scales - absolute and relative within a product category.
A sticker on a diesel car would be RED/RED and a sticker on a tiny EV car would be RED/GREEN.
A sticker on an apple from a domestic market would be GREEN/GREEN and an apple imported from a country 1000s miles away would be GREEN/ORANGE.
Ideally, the labeling would be a reflection of a fiscal mechanism to charge for externalities in the entire chain - from production to a sale and disposal.
