FOOD REGULATORY CONSULTING
South Africa food label review
Define a review scope using national food labelling sources and product documents for South Africa.
Content reviewed: · Our approach to sources
What do we assess together?
The South African Department of Health's food regulations page is an official starting point for researching labelling and advertising provisions. Applicable regulations and amendments are identified during the review.
Ingredient, quantity, date and nutrition information on the existing packaging is matched to supporting documents. A consulting review is not treated as official product approval; matters awaiting confirmation from the authority or importer are listed separately.
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?
- National source list
- Label-to-technical-data comparison
- Open issues to resolve
What you can prepare to get started
- Current label file showing all panels

- Destination country, importer and sales-channel details
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.
