Further to my article, “Does my food product need a label?”, I have received lots of questions about the Food Standards Code exemptions so I thought I would put out a handy flowchart.
Now, this flowchart does not cover all situations or requirements but it gives you a starting point. Importantly, it shows that more often than not, a label is required on food products, except in limited circumstances. Where allergens are concerned, ingredient information is vitally important for consumers so even if your product does not need a label, accurate and full ingredient information needs to be made available to consumers at their request.
Do you have food labelling questions or concerns? Food Envy Labelling Services can help you determine your labelling requirements and explore with you health messaging that will help you achieve your target market goals. Contact Michelle today to discuss your food product and labelling needs.
