Hello all,
Glad to be here. I have query with respect to retail pack coding. We are looking to import frozen ready to eat vegetarian ethnic snacks from India. Product will be frozen, packed in coded trays (for traceability) & retail packed (sleeved without coding) at manufacturer. Manufacturer will finally pack the sleeved product in outer cases which will have all traceability information and product details (name, weight, manufacturer/importer details). Once in UK, importer will defrost product & add code on sleeve. This is because the product will be sold chilled and therefore the date coding will be as per shelf-life after defrost.
Question is, is it ok for us to import a retail packed product with no coding?
Many thanks in advance.
