美国的食品标签
When it comes to food safety and product information, food labeling is extremely important. Food labeling is one of the most basic ways that a food manufacturer can communicate important information to food distributors and consumers.
了解美国食品标签要求
美国的食品制造商.S. 在产品上贴标签有两个原因:
The first reason is that the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) requires that food products be labeled with certain information. This information is important for product identification and food safety.
有标明制造商名称和地址的食品标签, 产品的重量, 成分, 过敏原, 以及安全操作说明 provides key information to the food supply chain.
其次, large food retailers require barcoded food labels on products that they receive from food manufacturing facilities. Receiving barcoded products helps food retailers streamline their receiving and traceability processes.
Barcoded product labels also reduce human errors and allow food products to be tracked down to the individual product serial numbers.
在美国.S., food labeling is such an important part of food safety that it is regulated by the federal 政府ernment. The two 政府erning bodies that regulate food labeling are FSIS (Food Safety and Inspection Service) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). For the most part, the meat and poultry industry falls under the jurisdiction of FSIS. There are exceptions to that, but for this blog, we will be focusing on the FSIS regulations.
在美国食品标签上有什么要求?
As mentioned above, two federal 政府erning bodies regulate food labeling, the FDA and FSIS. It should be mentioned that there might also be local state food labeling requirements. 然而, any meat or poultry products that are marketed and sold across state lines are subject to federal regulation over the local state regulations.
FSIS has the 政府erning jurisdiction over food labeling for meat and poultry products. The exceptions to this rule are if there is only a minimal amount of meat or poultry used in the final product, or if the final product has not historically been considered a meat or poultry product. 对于这两个例外,标签管辖权属于FDA.
FSIS requires all meat and poultry processors to properly label “immediate containers.” FSIS标签要求指南 将立即容器定义为以下任意项, ”包, 硬纸板箱, 托盘包装, 以及包装加工或准备好的肉制品的薄膜袋.” These containers must be properly labeled unless they are placed inside a shipping container and sold from one USDA establishment to another. Prepared meats that will be sold individually to consumers must have all of the proper labeling on each immediate container regardless of whether or not they are in a shipping container.
Products can be labeled with either one label called a Principal Display Panel (PDP) or with both a Principal Display Panel and an additional Information Panel (IP) that includes other mandatory fields. When labeling a product, there are up to eight specific labeling requirements. Four of the requirements are 要求 to be on the Principal Display Panel. 这些要求包括产品名称, 处理语句, 检验图例/编制编号, 净重.
The other four 要求 fields can be placed on the Principal Display Panel or the optional Information Panel. 这些其他字段包括制造商的名称和地址, 成分声明, 营养事实, 以及安全操作说明.
从技术上讲, the FSIS needs to approve every food product label that is applied to a meat or poultry product. 然而, that requirement is so cumbersome that they have developed two approval processes for labels. The two methods for approving labels are the Sketch Approval Process and the Generic Approval Process.
The Sketch Approval Process is done through the Labeling and Program Delivery Staff (LPDS). This process allows meat processing facilities to submit a label mockup with all of the relevant fields and information. 船级社将批准草图标签或要求修改. 一旦草图被批准, the processor or distributor is responsible for making sure the final product labels match what was approved by the LPDS.
根据 FSIS的标签概述在美国,只有四种类型的标签需要草图批准:
- 临时批准的标签
- 在宗教豁免下生产的产品的标签
- 出口产品的标签有标签偏差
- 有特殊声明和声明的标签
Any label that doesn’t fall under the four categories listed above is subject to the Generic Approval Process. A label is generically approved if it is compatible with the Generic Label Regulations. 一般批准的标签可以提交给lpd, 但在他们的审批过程中,这个标签的优先级将较低.
违反食物标签规定的罚则
If a processor or distributor is not compliant with the FSIS labeling requirements, 可以施加的处罚范围很广. These penalties can be extremely costly, can damage a company’s brand, and can result in prosecution. It is extremely important to use the available resources provided by the FSIS to ensure that your labels meet the requirements.
