Si l'étiquette décrit le produit contenu, j'utiliserais cette formulation. Si vous choisissez de garder le terme "injection", c'est la fomulation n°2 confirmée par Julien qui me paraît la bonne....

Sorry, you may prefer English : If the label describes the content, I would use this translation. If you choose to keep the word "injection", the variation n°2, confirmed by Julien, is the good one.
