I’m looking for the word/words on a product, something major, other than phone number, cautionary information, best before date?

Food requires nutritional info: like Sodium, Carbohydrates, Calories . . . .
That would be the ingredient list, which I mentioned as other than.
@flo No. Calories and nutritional information is different from ingredients.
I stand corrected.
So, what else is there on the packaging? I mean a major thing.
A sealed package, lid, cap, tape . . . etc

It’s called product information.

Ok, one more major thing.
…And there is the weight/volume.
So, the one more thing, is identifying feature. It’s not an adjective.
You mean “Does not contain battery acid,” @Tropical_Willie.
I think ‘liquid’ is a noun also.
Yah, I know but “liquid contents”, liquid modifies the noun contents .
“Contents” modifies all the things and I seriously hate and flunked English.
You can’t get/ buy any item without having the….of the item. (It’s the minimum you have to know.)
Ideally you want to know everything there is to know about an item. You can buy an item without knowing or caring about the weight/ volume (Added:is it 1 kg or the 1 litre etc.) , the brand name, the expiry date, (and on and on, (all the things listed above). What is it you absolutely need to have (know) though?
How much it costs, but in most stores I shop in the price is in the cash register system, the UPC code.
For some people money is no object, and some they’ll buy whatever they need or ’‘need’’ regardless of the price.
…And unless we’re talking about books and magazines newspapers, (I can’t think of what else) price is not part of the label.
…(By label I mean it’s not printed on the packaging.
For topical use only.
Manufacturing plant code.
“Use by” date.

Without it, you cannot buy it, (or get it for free) All the things mentioned above, you don’t need to know about. Good to know, but you can buy an item without knowing any of those things.
