Food Label Compliance

Reduce risk, improve efficiency and ensure compliance with national and international product label requirements.

Consumers are increasingly looking at product labels for guidance regarding claims and characteristics when buying foods and pet foods. At the same time, it can be difficult for suppliers, exporters, importers and retailers to ensure regulation compliance as labeling requirements can differ between markets. Even when international legislation is identical, the way requirements are interpretated can be very different.
