Food Labelling
Whether you are a food company, small food producer or selling products at a Farmers Market, the food labelling requirements in the Food Standards Code (from Food Standards Australia NZ) are the same. We can assist you in creating reliable, accurate, cost effective, nutritional labelling and writing food labels for your products.
Getting your food labels right on your first print run will reduce costs, get your product in the market quicker and reduce your risk of a food recall.
Nutrition Information Panel
On our initial, complimentary call we can advise on the most appropriate method of analysing your food product that best suits your product and your future product development requirements.
We will decide together if your products need to be sent to a food laboratory for nutrition testing or analysed using the most up-to-date Australian food nutritional database.
Country of Origin
From July 2018, the Country of Origin Food (CoOL) Labelling scheme becomes mandatory for many retail foods. The new Country of Origin Information Standard requires both locally produced and imported foods considered priority foods, to be labelled with the new Country of Origin information and logos. This includes a kangaroo symbol, bar chart with % Australian ingredients and a CoOL text statement in a defined box.

We provide Food Label Reviews for Australian produced packaged food products as well as Imported Label Compliance Reviews for businesses wishing to import food products from overseas.
