In this activity I have learnt about label or product label. Label
is a term which refers to printed information affixed on a particular article
of a container of product. The objective of foodstuff labeling is to guarantee
that consumers have access to complete information on the content and
composition of products, in order to protect their health and their interest.
Labels also provide information on a particular aspect of the product, such as
its origin, production method, modified organisms, allergenic food, and other
specific regulations.
The key future of label text are include

is doing observation about label, food, drink, and medicine
What I need to improve/learn more are The lexico-grammatical features which
are commonlyfound in labels for example, Using imperative sentences
(e.g. ask a doctor before you use ) , Using suggestions (do not use
more than directed) , If conditional (e.g. if you forget a dose, do
not double the next dose) , Singular and plural nouns with or
without articles a, the, this, those, etc, Quantifiers (fewer, more) ,

The social function of food, drink, and medicine label:
a. The social function of food and drink label is to tell the consumers about the nutritional content of food and drink item. The consumers can compare two different items or products by using the Nutrition Facts to choose the healthier option.
