On the provision of food information to consumers entered into application on December 13th 2014, the new EU Regulation is looking to provide nutrition information which will be implemented from December 13th 2016 on to all food products.
This new law by the EU adds two more rules to the legislation which are:
- 2000/13/EC– Labelling, presentation and advertising of food stuffs (applicable until December 12th 2014)
- 90/496/EEC– Nutrition labelling for foodstuffs
But a few of the main changes you will see on future labelling for food products will be:
- Improved legibility of information (minimum font size for mandatory information)
- Mandatory allergen information for non-prepacked food, including in restaurants and cafes
- Clear indication of “formed meat” or “formed fish“
- Clear indication of defrosted
- Specific information on the vegetable origin of refined oils and fats
- Strengthened rules to prevent misleading practices
The new guidance on allergens will improve the information on labels giving the consumer more information as to what that food product contains.
Here at Advanced Labelling Systems Ltd, we have a variety of customers in the food industry who have used our own contract labelling services to label their product. We can provide your company with the best in contract labelling services as we can label your new food product that contains the new information that meet the new EU guidelines.
In a bold move made by the Treasury Wine Estates, they have said they would be providing calorie information across its entire range of bottled wines in order to help consumers make more informed choices about what they do choose to drink.
It was in the early part of 2015 where Diageo (A British multinational alcoholic beverages company) became the first drinks producer to provide and commit to calorie labelling, confirming it would be adding nutritional information to all of its products.
Due to more and more interest from the consumer in regards to, what actually goes in these wine products, wine producers will start making this information available to its customers.
Members of the European Parliament met earlier this year to discuss a proposal of a potential new calorie labelling law and this was backed to be introduced which would make all drinks producers include the calorie content of its products, on its labels so that its customers would be able to view calorie information.
Although Calorie information will be provided onto the drinks label, it will also be available to view online, with a dedicated web address also printed on wine brand labels to help direct consumers to this information.
Here at Advanced Labelling Systems Ltd, we have catered for many companies in the wine & spirit sector who have ordered labelling machines from us and also have used our contract labelling services. If your company is looking for a quick, tool free change over machine to cope with your high volume of product, we recommend taking a look at the ALS Rotary Labeller which has proved time and time again to provide the best quality in labelling application.
