Can I use abbreviations to indicate the country of origin/country where the food product was manufactured?

Updated by SFA
The country of origin is a mandatory piece of information which must be present on the labels of prepacked food products to facilitate traceability of the food. Food businesses have to ensure that the manner of declaration is clear, and that the abbreviations used are the official ones for the countries in question. For example, USA is an official abbreviation for the United States of America.
