32However, contrary to what the Land of Bavaria maintains, the objective of consumer protection underlying the prohibition on misleading consumers laid down in point 4 of Part A of Annex VI to Regulation No 1169/2011 can be achieved without it being necessary to draw the consumer’s attention specifically to the difference between the actual composition of a food as compared with the composition which he or she should in principle expect by means of particulars placed in the principal field of vision of the packaging of that food, which is normally on the front of that packaging. In order to achieve that objective, it is sufficient that the name of that food, within the meaning of Article 17(1) and (5) of that regulation, and the list of the ingredients of which it is composed, appear on the back of such packaging, in accurate, clear and easy-to-understand terms, as is required by Article 7(2) of that regulation.
