Food labeling regulations around the world are frequently changing and becoming increasingly stringent. It can be challenging to ensure that your product labels are consistently compliant with constantly evolving requirements.

The first, essential, step is to determine the features of the product to be labelled, making sure that all the ingredients, including additives, are permitted and used in the quantities and/or for the types of use laid down by the legislation of the countries to which the products are exported. This is necessary in order to determine the exact legal name of the product and of each ingredient.

The service can be requested in two different ways:

Review of an existing label

Supervision of all mandatory texts and any claim/pictures/drawings present on the label
A formal report with comments and any amendments to be performed in order to ensure each label meets mandatory labeling guidelines
