What goes on a bakery label

• The product name large at the top.
• An ingredients line, wrapped to fit with a field block (^FB), and an allergen line.
• Net weight and price, a best-before date and a short lot code.
• Size: a small square like 2 × 2 in suits a cookie bag or a cake box; bigger products use 4 × 2 in.

The ingredients use ^FB366,3,2,L — a 366-dot block, up to three lines — so a long list wraps instead of running off the label. Shorten the list or add lines if it overflows.
