We have a client that we produce portion control packages for their salad bar in store. These are clear packages that just state the dressing name, Julian date packaged and the BBD. There are no ingredients lists or nutritional panels on this product. We've been making this product for them for years, now they want to add allergen statements to the packaging?

 

I'm trying to find guidance on this or how to address it. The document they provided is just draft guidance.

Most that I know of (I assume we are talking about conveinence and/or supermarket) have nutritional labeling - I find the Kroger one to be curious, in that you have to peel the label off or the take the sealed clear top off in order to look at the reverse side of the label (see link below.)

 

I used to inspect (about 15-18 years ago) several chains that had salad bars and all salads, desserts, dressings, had nutritional labeling.

Hi KayAreVee,

 

 

Welcome to the IFSQN forums.

 

Your customer needs to provide you with clear instructions or a specification for each different package you are supplying. that includes their labelling requirements.

 

If the dressing & salad is theirs how do you know what allergens are going into the packages?

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony

What country are you in. Regulations vary. If you are in the USA, for foodservice items, you need ingredient statements on them. At least on the outer box.
