Food Labeling Compliance

We help brands and retailers to launch compliant food and drink products.

What is Food Labeling Compliance?

Food labeling compliance is the process of ensuring any information displayed on a product label, online listing, or marketing material, is accurate, complete, and compliant with the regulations of the market it is sold in.

Achieving compliance is complicated and can be a real resource drain for brands and retailers. There are new rules and legislation to keep up with and a seemingly infinite library of regulations and guidance to adhere to; not to mention consumer expectations to meet.

This is where Ashbury can help. We provide end-to-end food labeling compliance services globally, enabling your team to prioritize safety and quality, while we ensure that your product information meets regulatory standards.

The Importance of Food Labeling Compliance

Consumer Protection:

Food labeling compliance is ultimately about protecting consumers by empowering them to make informed decisions about what they eat, aligned with their dietary needs. This is particularly important for vulnerable consumers, such as those with allergies or diabetes.

Brand Protection:

By complying with labeling requirements you can demonstrate the integrity of your product, reducing the risk of costly enforcement action and threat to your brand reputation. This is essential for successful growth and expansion into new vendors or markets of sale. Proper labeling compliance processes also support brand consistency through internal company policies that govern a business's approach to the presentation of product information.

At Ashbury, we support you in maintaining comprehensive compliance. Our holistic approach goes beyond legal compliance; we implement your brand's internal policies to develop and maintain labeling consistency and help organizations identify efficiencies to improve the overall performance of their product development process.

What is a Food Labeling Compliance Consultancy?

Ashbury is a consultancy that works in strategic compliance partnerships with leading brands. This means we work as an extension of their internal teams, to manage the complexities of product and labeling compliance from specification through to final artwork.

We specialize in multi-category and multi-national compliance services, helping brands handle fluctuating volumes, innovate in new categories and countries, and deliver compliant products to market efficiently.

Through collaboration with technical teams, our support enables a focus on core business objectives rather than administrative tasks. Engagement with marketing, nutrition, and product development teams ensures the feasibility of ingredients and marketing claims right from the start of development.

We work within your PLM/ERP systems and develop a critical path that enables you to maintain visibility and control and is integrated with your way of working.

Our partnership framework includes robust reporting against agreed Key Performance Indicators such as turn-around time, quality, and budget. Additionally, we provide your business with data intelligence to identify vulnerabilities and areas for continuous improvement in the product information approval process.
