Sometimes you find products that only display the ingredients, and sometimes you see labels with nutritional data. Do you guys know why, and if there any regulations that need to be addressed in doing so?

Depending on the country of origin in which the food products is made, they have different regulations. Not everyone worldwide has to write it yet.

Some companies doesn't want you to find out how much fat and sugar they put into the product. They put ingredients but they don't tell you how much. Individual wrapped food that comes from boxes are excused from this though, however.

I believe that foods that are prepared on the premises, and perhaps others like that, aren't required to post their nutritional information. It could also be that coming from another country would be the same, but not sure about imports.
(Of course, restaurants, etc., truly don't want you to see the nutritional values and fat/calories/sodium in their foods, and they're fighting really hard to prevent that!)

in my experience those whom don't are ashamed of what is in their product and won't be able to sell it.
