Labelling and regulation guide
Answer a few questions about your case and we'll tell you which tool to use or what information to gather before requesting a professional review.
Initial guidance, not a legal opinion. Check with a professional before using a claim or a label.
Select the type of query and add the available data to get regulatory guidance.
This case calls for a professional review before packaging, campaign or launch.
The next step is to pin down the exact text and the data behind the message.
This case can still be prepared with a briefing tool before the review.
- Product type, market and usage channel.
- The exact text you want to communicate.
- Composition, ingredients and nutrition table when the message depends on the nutritional profile.
- Project stage: idea, development, printing or publication, or material already in use.
- Product type or category
- Target market
- Exact text or claim
- Nutrition table per 100 g/ml
- List of ingredients or formula
- Label, final artwork or technical sheet
- Commercial or communication objective
- Making a decision with an incomplete nutrition table, ingredients or market.
- Using a claim without checking conditions of use, evidence and the exact wording of the message.
- Taking the text to packaging or a campaign before a professional review.
- Changing the formula or the nutritional profile without reviewing the impact on claims, allergens, taste and cost.
This guidance uses Regulation (EC) 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims, and Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 on food information provided to consumers, as references. It does not guarantee regulatory compliance: it is initial guidance, not a legal opinion.
