Based on your recipe formulation and raw material ingredients, we will prepare the most concise ingredient statement that is allowed by FDA regulations. The ingredient statement will also comply with the "Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act", identifying all major allergens with proper descriptors. You will receive an ingredient statement that you can provide to your printer, artist, or package designer, along with back-up documentation for your file.
All packaged foods regulated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFD&C Act) must comply with FALCPA's (Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act) food allergen labeling requirements. We will review your ingredients and include text for a separate allergen declaration and advise on any necessary label warnings for health risk ingredients required by FALCPA. A detailed report will include a list of the ingredients that contain major allergens.
The number one cause of food recalls each year is the presence or suspected presence of allergens in food product due to mislabeling, errors or omissions. A company and its management may be subject to civil sanctions, criminal penalties, or both under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act if one of its packaged food products does not comply with the FALCPA labeling requirements. FDA may also request seizure of food products where the label of the product does not conform to FALCPA's requirements. In addition, FDA is likely to request that a food product containing an undeclared allergen be recalled by the manufacturer or distributor.
Nutrient Content and Health Claims
We will review your product and provide guidance for FDA compliant nutrient content claims, health claims, structure/function claims, and other regulated label statements.
Supplement Facts Labels
USDA and CN Labeling
UPC Bar Codes
In order for your company to print U.P.C. bar code symbols, your company will need to become a member of U.P.C council. When you become a member, your company will be assigned an identification number for your company's use (company prefix). You will need this number to create your own U.P.C.s. The globally unique UPC Council Company Prefix licensed to your company will enable you to identify up to 100 Products. We can provide you with a graphic file of the UPC bar code with your uniqued identifiying number(s) that you can give to your printer, artist, or graphic designer..
Once label artwork is complete, we will conduct a final label review to ensure FDA compliance - before you print. Label reviews help new producers avoid costly reprinting of incorrect labels and lessens the possibility that regulatory agencies in other jurisdictions will take mislabeled product off sale for labeling violations or omissions.. read more...
