Ingredient and labeling regulations can vary significantly
from one market to another. Ingredients
considered acceptable in the United States may not meet
regulatory requirements in other countries. Similarly, labels may have different regulations regarding the form of presentation, mandatory requirements, nutrition
facts (or supplement facts), nutri-score, and any claims depending
on the country.
We provide ingredient and label review services focused on ensuring your product's compliance with regulatory requirements, specifically the suitability of ingredients and the accuracy of labeling. Our expertise spans various global regulations, helping you avoid costly delays and mitigate the risk of detention before shipping your product to the target market.
Key Stage of Ingredient & Label Review
Our team cross-references your ingredients and labels
with thousands of pages of regulations, guidance, and warning letters issued by
the relevant authorities in your target country to ensure that your product is
compliant. Ensure your products meet the highest standards with our expert
reviews, simplifying your path to global markets.
ㆍ Ingredients
list: Review the ingredients, including additives such as
colorant and preservatives, according to regulations, ensuring that all
ingredients are permitted for your product and properly named. Common
violations of ingredient regulations include registration requirements for new
food ingredients or new dietary ingredients (such as GRAS, NDI, Novel Foods, or
etc.), as well as for food additives. However, regulations may vary slightly by
country. These issues can be identified and prepared for thorough the
ingredient review.
ㆍ Mandatory
requirements: Review the mandatory requirements such as identity,
net contents, Nutri-Score, ingredients list, nutrition facts, allergen declaration,
business information, country of origin, and etc. Most countries issue labeling
regulations and guidance that specify the mandatory information required to be
provided to the final consumer. Since the purpose of this regulation is to
guarantee consumers' rights to nutritional and necessary information of food,
it is one of the regulations that is more strictly enforced by the relevant
authorities in each country.
ㆍ Nutrition
Facts (or Supplement Facts): Review the Nutrition Facts (or
Supplement Facts) based on your product’s nutritional information. Regulations
regarding formats, mandatory nutritional declarations, Reference Amounts
Customarily Consumed (RACC), and serving sizes vary from country to country. It
is important to comply with the regulations of the target country, including
any applicable exemptions.
ㆍ Any claims: Review all promotional claims, including nutrient content claims, health claims, and structure/function claims found on the label and in advertisements. Misleading claims that can confuse or mislead consumers are classified as mislabeling, complicating the customs clearance and distribution of products. This constitutes a significant proportion of administrative actions related to labeling. We provide tailored advice based on the regulations of the target market.
