Labelling errors are one of the leading causes of food product recalls in Australia and globally. From undeclared allergens to incorrect Nutrition Information Panels (NIPs), even a minor oversight can trigger costly recalls, legal action, and lost consumer trust. FSANZ enforces strict regulations under the Food Standards Code (particularly Standard 1.2), covering everything from ingredient declarations to allergen listings and health claims. In 2023 alone, numerous recalls were issued due to mislabelled allergens—putting vulnerable consumers at serious risk. Ensuring your labels are accurate, compliant, and transparent isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a moral and commercial imperative.
