DEAR COLLEAGUES AND CLIENTS

15 April 2021

In this newsletter, we will uncover if you need to declare a date marking on your product, highlight the importance of keeping abreast of the international allergen news and shine the spotlight on our technical team who are there to provide you with excellent service.  

Remember to sign up for our Online SA Food Labelling Regulations Workshop before registrations close on 26 April 2021. 
 
We support and stand by to assist you and bring you peace of mind wherever your food endeavours may take you.

The FACTS team

Among the plethora of practices about which labelling regulations appear to be unclear, date marking seems to be one that comes to the fore in many countries, including South Africa.

Why is this seemingly straightforward marking requirement so often under scrutiny? And how do we ensure the requirements of the regulations are applied correctly? 

We created an easy to follow flow diagram to assist you in correctly applying date markings to your products. 

Often focus is placed on R.146 (Regulations relating to the labelling and advertising of foodstuffs), but there are many other regulations that also have implications on the labelling of a food.

FACTS is hosting a 4-day online workshop (divided into two parts of two sessions each) with the aim to provide an in-depth understanding of all the relevant regulations relating to the labelling of foods.

Limited ‘seats’ available.
