Our team at PrimeSourceOPC is well-versed at creating and printing labels for a wide range of products, including everything from chemicals to food items. The regulations about food & beverage labels are very specific, so it’s important to make sure that your label information complies with these rules.
In this article, our team will go over the key elements you need to include in your food & beverage labels.
- Serving Information – All food & beverage labels should contain serving information about the product. Customers need to know how much of the item they can eat or drink to get the nutritional values listed elsewhere on the label, and they need to know how many servings are in a package.
- Caloric Information – You should also include the number of calories per serving on your food & beverage labels. This will tell customers roughly how much energy the item contains per serving.
- Nutritional Information – Food & beverage labels should also contain a breakdown of the macronutrients in the item, including the number of grams of carbohydrates, protein, and fat per serving. Many food & beverage labels also include information on other important nutritional values, such as the amount of sodium, sugar, fiber, and vitamins or minerals such as calcium or iron.
- Ingredients – Lastly, all food & beverage labels must contain a list of the ingredients in the item. Customers need to be able to check the ingredients to see if the product contains things which they are allergic to or ingredients that might violate their dietary restrictions.
