FAQs

Frequently asked questions about food regulatory compliance

Yes, your food and drink products must adhere to the food information laws of every country you intend to sell them in. To be legally compliant, your label must include several key details, and these must be presented clearly and accurately. These labelling requirements include your product’s legal name, an ingredient list, allergen declarations, nutritional information, net weight, and country of origin. Additional requirements may apply depending on the country of sale.

A novel food is any food or ingredient that was not consumed by humans to a significant degree within the UK or EU prior to 15th May 1997.

This includes any newly developed or innovative food products, food that has been produced using new technology or production techniques, or food that has traditionally been eaten elsewhere in the world.

Novel foods must be authorised before they can enter the market, and will need to be assessed for safety, accurate labelling, and nutritional value. You will need to take this into consideration when developing a novel food product or including novel ingredients within your product recipe.
