A two-page brief for food and beverage producers that sell in several EU countries. It sums up what must appear on a food label, which language rules apply, and how to keep ingredient names, allergens and nutrition claims consistent in every language and every new edition.
Mandatory food information in a language consumers easily understand, as set by Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011.
Name, ingredients, allergens, net quantity, dates, storage, operator details, origin, instructions, nutrition and alcohol content.
Lost sales, penalties, health risks and goods stopped at the border or withdrawn.
A glossary and translation memory so the same ingredient keeps the same name on every label.
Large label and packaging projects handled in one workflow, layout included.
An ISO 17100 certified process, translators who know food regulation, and revision by a second linguist.
Regulatory, quality and export managers at food and beverage producers, and the marketing teams that manage packaging artwork.
It is most useful when you are entering a new EU market, launching a new recipe or redesigning packaging for several countries at once.
Checked against EUR-Lex on 10 November 2026.

The product may be withdrawn or recalled, the producer may face penalties, and consumers may be put at risk. Allergen terms should be fixed in an approved glossary and checked in every language on every edition.
Keep approved translations in a translation memory and glossary, so only changed text is translated each time and existing ingredient names, claims and warnings stay identical.
