FDA Nutrition Facts label compliance FDA regulation about Nutrition Facts labels. On May 20, 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a number of changes to the nutrition label for packaged foods. All food manufacturers and other companies like convenience stores and fitness clubs who package foods on site, and commissaries that prepare and package foods sold in convenience stores who have $10 million or more in annual food sales should be compliant as of January 1, 2020. Manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual food sales have until January 1, 2021 to comply. After several decades, the nutrition facts label is getting a new look to reflect new scientific findings in the fields of nutrition and health care. New label facts acknowledge the link between diet and chronic diseases such as obesity and heart disease and provide additional information aimed at helping the consumers make informed decisions about the food they eat. At NiceLabel, we have studied the new FDA regulation thoroughly to prepare simplified guides about the key changes coming your way, and we have updated our label and printing solutions to help you become compliant with the regulation as quickly as possible.

Five steps to a successful implementation of the Label Management System Your labeling process is far more than a standalone system. It often stands at the intersection of many departments: Logistics, IT, Sales and Marketing, Production and Quality. The successful transformation of your labeling then depends on being able to identify how your labeling process interacts with all of these departments, map their needs and make sure these are addressed during the implementation. We’ve put together a process to ensure that happens.
Guarantee label accuracy With a centralized database containing all label information, you can ensure that labels are always up-to-date and changes are quickly rolled out across your supplier network. You can guarantee the same label output regardless of the supplier’s printer brand or technology.
Reduce IT burden and security risks With cloud-based supplier labeling, your IT staff doesn’t have to spend time granting suppliers access to your internal labeling infrastructure. This saves time and IT resources, and it protects your systems and key data from unauthorized access.
Onboard new suppliers quickly Label Cloud offers instant deployment and a quick on-boarding process. All suppliers need to start printing labels is a username, a password and an Internet-enabled device. From day one, they’ll experience that you’re easy to do business with.
Centralize supply chain management Label Cloud enables centralized user management and record keeping. You always have a complete overview of the suppliers accessing the system and a complete print history. You can also make sure suppliers are always using the correct version of your labeling solution.
