How to Make Nutrition Labels for North America

How to Make Nutrition Labels for North America

BY: TRAVIS WAYNE / DATE: 09/09/2021 / TOPICS: VOEDINGSMIDDELEN EN DRANKEN, LABEL DESIGN, REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

The nutrition label is a critical piece of information for consumers when making purchasing decisions, but for food manufacturing companies, the label is much more than calories and an ingredient list. Although changes to food labeling requirements are infrequent, when changes are made, they can be substantial. Companies need to know how to make a nutrition label and be aware of any regulatory changes to reduce any negative impact an inaccurate label can incur such as fines, recalls, wasted materials, or negative consumer perception. 

 

TRY FOOD LABELING SOFTWARE

 

Over the last five years, the United States (U.S.) and Canada have been in a transition period to give the food and beverage industry time to implement changes introduced in 2016 to nutrition fact labels. The U.S. deadline was January 1, 2021, and the deadline for Canada is December 14, 2022. Meanwhile, Mexico recently announced changes and are currently in a transition period that ends October 1, 2025. It is important that the food manufacturers pay attention to the requirements for all three North American countries because there are a lot of similarities and slight differences between the nutrition labeling regulations. Food manufacturers must comply with labeling requirements in any areas their product is sold.
