i) Nutrition labeling and nutrition claims are closely related but have different purposes in food regulation and consumer information. Nutrition labeling refers to the mandatory or voluntary declaration of the nutritional composition of a food product, including information such as energy value, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, minerals, sugar, and sodium. It provides factual and standardized information that helps consumers compare products and make informed dietary choices. Nutrition claims, on the other hand, are specific statements made on food labels or advertisements that highlight a particular nutritional property of the food, such as "low fat," "high fiber," "source of calcium," or "reduced sodium." Nutrition claims must be supported by the nutritional information provided in the nutrition label and must comply with food safety regulations. Thus, nutrition labeling provides the scientific basis for nutrition claims, while nutrition claims are simplified messages derived from the nutritional data presented on the label. ii) Canning and sterilization are interdependent food preservation processes aimed at ensuring microbiological safety and extending shelf life. Canning involves placing food into airtight containers such as metal cans or glass jars, sealing them, and subjecting them to heat treatment. Sterilization is the heat treatment process applied during canning to destroy pathogenic microorganisms, spoilage organisms, and their spores. In commercial food processing, sterilization is achieved by heating foods to temperatures above 100°C under pressure using retorts. Low-acid foods require more severe sterilization to eliminate *Clostridium botulinum* spores, while acidic foods need relatively milder heat treatment. Therefore, canning provides the physical barrier against recontamination, whereas sterilization ensures the microbial destruction necessary for safe storage. The effectiveness of canning depends on proper sterilization, and successful sterilization is meaningful only when the food is hermetically sealed through
