In the food industry, the nutrition professional performs several functions, including the development and improvement of food products, quality control, the elaboration of nutrition tables, and the assurance of compliance with nutritional regulations and guidelines.

​

Labeling is extremely important as it provides essential information about the nutritional value of food, ingredients, allergens, and consumption instructions. Nutritionists play a fundamental role in the development of this information and in complying with labeling regulations.

​

In addition to labeling, the functions of a nutritionist in the food industry may include conducting nutritional analyses, evaluating product formulations, participating in the development of new healthy foods, evaluating scientific studies, and educating about healthy eating habits.

​

In Brazil, food labeling legislation is mainly governed by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). The nutritionist plays an important role in the application of these regulations, ensuring that food is properly labeled and that nutritional information is accurate and understandable for consumers.
