FOOD REGULATORY CONSULTING
FDA food label review
Review existing food packaging intended for the USA for product identity, mandatory information and presentation.
Content reviewed: · Our approach to sources
What do we assess together?
Work begins by establishing which authority has jurisdiction over the product. FDA food labelling resources and USDA FSIS resources for meat, poultry and egg products are not used interchangeably.
For products under FDA jurisdiction, the principal display and information panels are matched to product information, the ingredient list and operator data. FDA registration, label assessment and any separate permission processes are distinguished in the dossier.
Our review topics
- Matching existing packaging to the product and target market
- Checking label information against technical data
- Identifying issues requiring local sources, documents or specialist verification
How do we adapt the review to your product?
Before starting, we agree on the current packaging version, product code and expected deliverable. Each technical detail is linked to the relevant label, and issues that cannot be verified because data is missing are recorded separately. The report distinguishes implementable corrections from matters requiring local authority or specialist confirmation. If a revision review is requested, the same record tracks how earlier findings were addressed.
What will you receive?
- Review notes on the packaging
- Jurisdiction and source-scope summary
- Pre-print correction list
What you can prepare to get started

Sharing your document list is enough for the first meeting. The review method, delivery format and any local specialist verification needed depend on your product's characteristics.
