LabelGuard
Label Compliance Service

Food Label Compliance, Automated

The regulatory labeling service that runs in 60 seconds instead of 6 days. Upload your label artwork and get every allergen declaration, nutrition claim, and mandatory particular checked against EU, US, UK, Canada, and Australia rules.

Label Compliance Services vs. Label Compliance Automation

Turnaround
Manual regulatory labeling services take 3–10 business days per review. An automated check returns a full report in about 60 seconds, so every artwork revision gets checked — not just the final one.
Cost
Consultancy reviews typically run $300–$1,500 per label per market. Automated checking starts at $29 per label, with flat monthly plans for teams and agencies.
Coverage
One upload is checked against all five market rulebooks at once — the same label reviewed for EU, US, UK, Canada, and Australia requirements in a single pass.

What a Complete Label Compliance Check Covers

Allergen declarations
All regulated allergens for the target market — the EU/UK's 14 Annex II allergens, the 9 US major allergens including sesame, Canada's priority allergens, and Australia's PEAL names — with correct emphasis and Contains statements.
Nutrition and health claims
"High protein", "low sugar", "no added sugar" and other claims verified against the actual thresholds: EU Regulation 1924/2006, FDA nutrient content claim definitions, Canada's permitted claims table, and FSANZ Standard 1.2.7.
Ingredient list order
Descending order by weight, QUID percentages, compound ingredient sub-declarations, and additive naming (E-numbers or specific names depending on market).
Mandatory information
Nutrition panel format, net quantity, date marking, storage instructions, business address, country of origin, language requirements, and prescribed warning statements.

Food Label Compliance FAQ

What is food label compliance?
Food label compliance means that everything on your packaging — the ingredient list, allergen declarations, nutrition information, claims, quantities, dates, and addresses — meets the legal requirements of every market where the product is sold. Each market has its own rulebook: Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 in the EU, FDA regulations in the US, retained FIC law in the UK, the Food and Drug Regulations in Canada, and the FSANZ Food Standards Code in Australia and New Zealand.
What does a label compliance check cover?
A complete check covers allergen declarations and emphasis, ingredient list order and naming, additive declarations, nutrition panel content and format, nutrition and health claim thresholds, net quantity, date marking, storage instructions, business address, country of origin, language requirements, and market-specific mandatory warnings.
Do I need a labeling consultant, or can software do it?
Traditional regulatory labeling services review labels manually — typically hundreds of dollars per label with multi-day turnaround. Automated checking covers the same rulebook in about 60 seconds per label, which makes it practical to check every artwork revision instead of only the final one. Many teams use automation for every iteration and reserve consultants for novel legal questions.
How much does a food label compliance check cost?
LabelGuard checks a single label against a full market rulebook for $29, with Pro ($149/month) and Agency ($499/month) plans for teams that check labels continuously. A manual compliance review from a consultancy typically costs $300–$1,500 per label per market.
Which markets does LabelGuard cover?
The EU, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia/New Zealand — including the market-specific traps: sesame as a US allergen since 2023, Canada's bilingual and front-of-package requirements, Australia's PEAL bold allergen names, and the EU's per-member-state language rules.
