Why is there no nutritional info / ingredients on Supermarket bakery products?

Isn't it the law?

Good question. I wonder the same. Can't tell if a product is veggie or not.

Obviously not, otherwise they would have been prosecuted a long time ago.

Exempt from labelling if it's 'baked on site'

It's the same reason as sandwiches from a take-away that makes on site don't have labelling, but sandwiches made elsewhere do.

No, where it was made has nothing to do with it at all.

It is products sold loose or packaged in the shop that are exempt.

Many supermarkets (individual stores) and bakers (such as Greggs) bake products in a central bakery and deliver them to the individual shops. They are then either sold loose or packaged in the shop and are exempt.

No, you can make sandwiches anywhere and deliver them in a bulk container to be either sold loose or packaged in the shop and they too are exempt.

It's not the place they are made, it's the place where they are packaged and sold, or sold not packaged.
