How to Comply with the New EU Legislation 1169/2011 for Food Labels

Sept. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- The European directive 1169/2011 gives consumers more clarity about the ingredients, nutrition and allergens in packaged foods, by implementing changes in the layout and the information on labels.

·         What does EU1169 / 2011 legislation mean to manufacturers?

The new directive requires a number of changes with regard to the information on a label.

The most relevant change for packaging is required for all substances that are classified as food allergen to highlight and emphasise (in the ingredients list). For companies that produce and process products with allergens these regulations may require huge changes.

·         Who does the new European rule apply?

EU 1169/2011 applies to manufacturers within the EU.

Remarkably, it also applies to any organisation that sells food products in the EU.

Examples of companies to which the regulations apply:

·         Retailers, including online stores

·         Caterers, restaurants, fast food chains

·         Process management, selling or importing food
