EU Label Compliance and Ingredient Review Service
To successfully sell food products in the European Union (EU), companies must comply with strict EU food labeling regulations (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011) and ingredient use laws. Incorrect labels or unauthorized ingredients can result in customs delays, product recalls, or rejection by EU retailers. At J&B Food Consulting, we provide professional EU food label compliance and ingredient review services to ensure your product meets all EU regulatory requirements before it reaches the European market.
