Where the regulation applies
The regulation sets labelling requirements for food placed on the market, subject to specified exclusions. It applies alongside the product's safety requirements; no separate certificate solely for labelling is issued under CU TR 022/2011.
What the regulation covers
Checks cover the product name, ingredients and allergens, quantity, production date, shelf life, storage conditions and manufacturer and importer information. Requirements also address nutrition, use restrictions, mandatory warnings, language and accuracy.
Examples of products and facilities
- bakery product labels
- confectionery packaging
- beverage labels
- cereal and pasta labelling
- canned food labels
- dairy product labels
- meat product labels
These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.
