Abstract
Food labels are very important for consumers, but there are still many food manufacturers that do not provide complete information. Research on food souvenir labels is needed to support tourism. This study aims to analyze the food souvenir labels. The study was conducted on 150 food souvenirs from 20 categories. The sample was selected accidentally in a gift shop in Bangka Belitung. This study uses a comparison method between the availability of information on labels and food label regulations for home industries. There are still many products that do not provide halal information, production dates and nutrition. This information is very important for tourists, therefore the government needs to increase awareness and compliance of micro, small and medium scale food producers.
