FDA Labeling Requirements for Imported Food
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has established labeling requirements for imported food, including requirements for mandatory labeling information, accuracy of labeling, language for labeling, country of origin labeling, nutrition labeling, and allergen labeling.

Accuracy and Language of Food Labels
Food labeling of imported goods must be accurate and in the language of the country of the origin of the product. Food labels must include the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor, the net quantity of the contents, a list of ingredients, and nutrition facts. Additionally, the label must also include a statement of identity and a warning statement, as required by the FDA.
Compliance software and automation software can help streamline the labeling process.

Overall, compliance software and automation software can help ensure accuracy and language of food labels for imported goods. Automation software can help to reduce costs and ensure accuracy, while compliance software can provide standards and regulations which must be followed. Both are essential tools for food labeling of imported goods.
Country of Origin Labeling
Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) is a labeling requirement of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that requires food manufacturers to clearly identify the country of origin of their products. Food manufacturers must provide accurate, detailed information about the origin of their products to ensure that consumers are aware of the source of their food.
COOL is a critical part of the food safety system as it helps to provide traceability of food products in the event of a recall or foodborne illness outbreak. It also enables consumers to make informed decisions about the food they consume based on the origin of the product.
Compliance with COOL is essential, and automation software can help food manufacturers to ensure that their labels are accurate and in compliance with the relevant regulations. Automation software can help to automate the process of creating and printing labels, ensuring that all of the relevant information is included on the label and that it is printed clearly and accurately. Automation software can also help to manage the inventory of labels, ensuring that labels are always available to meet changing demand.
In addition, automation software can also help to ensure that the country of origin is accurately recorded and tracked in the company’s internal systems. This can help to ensure that the company is able to quickly identify and recall any products that are not in compliance with the regulations. Automation software can also be used to track and maintain records of the origin of imported goods, ensuring that all imported goods are labeled correctly and in compliance with the relevant regulations.
Nutrition Labeling
Nutrition labeling is an important part of food labeling of imported goods. Nutrition labeling is required for all foods that are sold or provided to consumers in the United States. The nutrition label must include information about the number of calories, fats, carbohydrates, and other nutrients in the food item. The requirements for nutrition labeling differ depending on the type of food item, such as packaged foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, and alcoholic beverages.
The FDA requires that nutrition labeling must be in English and must be accurate and truthful. If a food item is labeled as having a “low-fat” or “low-sugar” content, this must be verified as such by a laboratory analysis. The FDA also has strict regulations regarding how the nutrition information must be displayed on the label, such as font size, placement, and other formatting requirements.
Compliance software and automation software can help food manufacturers and importers to ensure that their labels comply with nutrition labeling requirements. Automation software can alert companies when a product label does not meet labeling requirements, and can help them quickly and accurately make the necessary changes. Automation software can also help companies to generate the label information from their internal database, which can save time and resources. Compliance software can also help companies to track and monitor their labels to ensure that they are up to date with the latest labeling regulations. With the help of compliance and automation software, food manufacturers and importers can ensure that their labels are accurate and compliant with all labeling regulations.
Allergen Labeling Requirements
Allergen labeling requirements are essential for food safety and consumer protection. Allergen labeling must include a clear statement of any food allergens present in the food, such as peanuts, eggs, and dairy. In order for food labels to accurately reflect all allergens present, it is important to use compliance software and automation software to ensure that allergen information is up-to-date and accurate.
SMRTR’s allergen labeling compliance software and automation solutions help companies comply with the allergen labeling requirements imposed by the FDA and other regulatory bodies.
