I’m from Australia, I really like how we always show the 100g/100ml breakdown of ingredients, not just “serving size”.

This lets you easily compare across products with different sizes.

This is brilliant! I even love the additional information added such as 'you don't have to avoid sugar completely' (are these coloured boxes also visible on the label or is it just for illustrative purposes?).

Normally not, but here’s a more real example, https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRSEa2t...

Thank you for this. The idea of having some additional explanatory notes alongside each serving as in the first layout you shared is very interesting, almost reminds be of ELI5.
