When introducing a new product to the market, you must comply with labeling legislation. Are the mandatory details correctly displayed on my label? Do the optional texts also meet the requirements? Are there any product-specific regulations? An incorrect label can lead to fines or a product recall.

Label Checks
Are you certain that your label complies with legal requirements? Are the correct terms used on your label? Our specialists are available daily to check your label. During a label check, your label is assessed based on European legislation. You will receive a report that allows you or your designer to practically modify the label. For more information, we refer you to: label checks.

Other Labeling and Claims
Websites, webshops, and promotional materials must also meet labeling requirements. Schouten Advies can review and provide advice on these. We check whether all mandatory information is present and if the optional text complies with the regulations. Besides checks, you can also come to us with your questions: “How should I best mention this diet feed?”, “Am I using the correct terms for an Organic label?”, “Is this ingredient a feed material or an additive?”, “What information needs to be on my label?”

The way claims are regulated in animal feed makes them open to interpretation. Claims must not be misleading, must be clear and verifiable, and must not give the impression that they prevent, treat, or cure a condition. Due to our knowledge of various guidelines, frameworks, and experience, Schouten Advies is the perfect sparring partner for your questions about claims. You can also rely on Schouten Advies for support with your claim dossier. If you have further questions, please contact us here.
