How to ease compliance with allergen labeling requirements

Food allergies and labeling compliance

 

We all probably know someone who suffers from a food allergy, whether mild or severe, knowing what’s in their food is a must.  This is why the food and beverage manufacturing industry is one of the more regulated industries and labeling that is in compliance is so important.

“Natasha’s Law is one of many food labeling regulations in place across the U.S., European Union, and the U.K.” after the tragic death of a young teen in 2019 due to a severe allergic reaction in which the food packaging didn’t list specific allergen information. This law will go into effect in October of this year.

Food and beverage manufacturers understand the necessity of ensuring their labeling is accurate for the safety of the end consumer.  Additional benefits of accurate product labeling are consistency and product traceability. The correct labeling of foods and beverages is just one of the regulatory constraints put on manufacturers and extensive compliance can be overwhelming. Manufacturers look to technology to automate many of these regulations, especially when it comes to labeling.
