All food packaged by your business must be properly labeled.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration instituted laws and
regulations pertaining to labeling. The Department of Health
Services, Food & Drug Branch (FDB) adopted all labeling
regulations. It also has its own laws concerning additional
labeling requirements. The law requires specific information
such as Food Name, Responsible Firm, Net Quantity, Ingredient
Listing, Product Dates, Nutritional Labeling, Nutrient Content
Claims, Health Claims. The information is to be listed and
positioned in the proper display panel. Additional
requirements are applied to juice products, refrigerated
foods, confectionery products containing alcohol, and organic
foods. If you are planning to do your own labeling, you must
know all of the requirements. Consult with an expert whenever
you are not sure, or contact any of the FDB offices.
