Preparation of labels text
Relevant for local new products or imported products, from the ingredients and information from the manufacturer and suppliers of raw materials, which translate to: nutritional values for the product, ingredients, allergens and more. We of course also check the definition of the food name and the sizes of letters and symbols. All this in accordance with all existing labeling requirements in Israel: Israel standard #1145 – Pre-packaged food labeling, Israel standard for various foods, nutritional labeling regulations, food supplement regulations and national food service guidelines.
The importance of the issue and the financial risk involved is one of the most significant risks that exist in the food industry. Ignorance of the law does not excuse incompliance. Many attorneys look for these mistakes in class action lawsuits.
An incorrectly labeled product can harm a consumer who may be allergic to a certain ingredient or cause the public to be misled and thus be disqualified from marketing in the country.
