We are regularly asked about food labelling obligations and legal requirements for labelling fresh food - for example in accordance with HACCP or LMIV. Below you will find information on the most important topics in food labelling and how Meto system solutions can help.
If you produce, process or sell food, you are legally obliged to label it properly. You must not only guarantee the safety and quality of your products, but also document them.
Meto offers system solutions that guarantee legal certainty with regard to labelling obligations. The EU Food Information Regulation (FIR) and the HACCP control system, for example, are central to this.
Food and its ingredients such as nuts, lactose, gluten or eggs can trigger allergies. According to the European Food Information Regulation (FIR), food processing companies must label allergens, which applies to both packaged and loose foods.
Meto offers solutions for compliance with the LMIV and specific German regulations. As experts in the field of labelling, we have many years of experience in allergen-compliant labelling and support well-known companies in the food service sector.
Extensively tried and tested and used thousands of times a day: Meto's system solutions help you to comply with legal food labelling requirements at all times and work efficiently at the same time.
Although there is no legal obligation to take retained samples in Germany or Europe, we strongly recommend that retail and system catering businesses take them voluntarily. In the event of a crisis, retained samples can be used as evidence to show that the food was safe.
Meto provides support with system solutions for the efficient and secure labelling of retained samples.
If you offer to-go food and beverages, you are responsible for their quality and content. Meto's seal labels provide security and protection against unauthorised opening, so customers can be sure of the integrity of their order. The labels guarantee that customers receive the products in the prepared quality and quantity.
Meto Seal also offers possibilities for advertising and information purposes as well as for labelling best-before dates and product information.
