Why Compliance Is Commonly Misunderstood
Many founders assume co-packers handle all compliance. In reality, the brand owner is legally responsible for label accuracy and product claims.
Common (and Costly) Oversights
- Incorrect Nutrition Facts labels
- Missing allergen disclosures
- Unsupported shelf life claims
- Incomplete retailer documentation
United Food Labs frequently helps brands correct issues before they result in relabeling, delays, or recalls.
Testing That Is Often Required
- Nutritional analysis
- Microbial testing
- Shelf life and stability studies
How to Avoid These Costs
- Verify ingredients early
- Validate labels before printing
- Work with an independent food lab
Compliance isn’t optional—it’s foundational. United Food Labs protects your brand before problems arise.
