Navigating the bevy of food labeling regulations can be a challenge for even the most seasoned food business. Your business may or may not be involved in any current labeling regulations, but don’t assume anything. Recently passed and upcoming changes to labeling standards may impact your business.

If all of these new rules create confusion, you are not alone. Rest assured that the department is prepared to assist with your understanding and compliance. Auditing guidelines are already in place – even before the rules are set for enforcement. Recalls can become more litigious, so bringing your label into compliance is paramount.
