Product Labeling Initiatives
Food product labeling is indispensable information for customers as it enables them to select and use products with confidence. There are two types of labeling: compulsory labeling required by law, and discretionary labeling.
Compulsory Labelling
We have departments specializing in food laws and regulations to ensure that our labels meet all compulsory labelling requirements.
Discretionary Labelling
We create our own labelling for some products to display discretionary labels according to food laws and regulations and provide customers with even clearer information.
