Food Safety
While print on demand food labeling probably isn’t something you think about each time you get ready to chow down or go grocery shopping, it plays a big role in keeping you safe.

Food safety and labeling all starts well before food makes it to your plate, and it’s in the supply chain where responsibility takes place. In 2016, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced new labeling requirements for packaged foods to, among other things, inform consumers about what they eat.

Unfortunately, food safety and traceability in the U.S. food supply chain needs improvement. According to Health and Human Services, 59% of North American food facilities did not meet the FDA’s requirements for traceability. In addition, the 2018 romaine lettuce E.coli 0157: H1 outbreak that infected 210 people and caused five deaths re-emphasizes the importance of food safety.

When it comes to food safety and labeling, we have a solution being used by food companies across the country. In fact, you may have even consumed a product with one of our LabelSmart food labels.

It alerts consumers about ingredients in their food so they can view in the event of a specific food allergy.
On-demand labels are ideal for kitchens that prepare or customize dozens of different kinds of foods, each requiring a dedicated label.
