Want to successfully launch your product in the US market?Food labeling compliance is the first hurdle you can't bypass! The U.S. FDA regulates food labeling claims very strictly, and a single mistake can result in the rejection of an entire shipment or even legal action!
Shocking statistic: In 2023, more than 3,500 international companies were stopped by the FDA due to labeling issues, with an average loss of up to $$85,000 per batch!
The FDA divides food labeling claims into three broad categories, each with its own unique compliance requirements:
1️⃣ Nutrition Facts Statement - These claims must be based on officially recognized scientific evidence and use the exact expressions required by the FDA. For example, products claiming to be "low-fat" must contain no more than 3 grams of fat per serving.Did you know? More than 40% of imported food products were returned due to non-compliant nutrition claims!
2️⃣ Health Statement - This is the most stringent category and must be pre-approved by the FDA or meet the "significant scientific consensus" standard.WARNING: Unauthorized health claims may result in a fine of up to $500,000!
3️⃣ Structure/Function Statement - Although relatively loose, there are clear boundaries. It is possible to describe how a nutrient maintains body function, but it is never possible to imply treatment or prevention of disease.
Why successful exporters of 95% choose professional compliance consultants? Because they know that expert guidance can reduce time to market by as much as 60% while ensuring 100% compliance!
