For pre-packaged foods and beverages there are labelling standards that must be met. The requirements vary depending on the intended market and the particular product type. Meeting these standards is vital when creating your product, expanding into new markets, and ensuring customer confidence in your brand.

Information that is presented on food & beverage labels, whether by way of text or images must not be false or misleading. It is important that you can justify any claims made or implied on your food labels.
