FTI7017 Global Food Product Conformity Assignment Guide

A company has approached you and asked your advice on the legality of the label for a product that it intends to import from Australia.
You have the task of assessing the label in respect of its compliance with applicable legislation in order to legally sell it in the UK.
Prepare a report for the company, detailing clearly and precisely where the label does not comply and what changes need to be made to the label for it to comply with legislative requirements and be sold in the UK.
You should consider voluntary as well as mandatory information. Word count is limited, and you are advised to illustrate and tabulate wherever possible.

You particularly need to consider this label in the context of the following legislation and its UK equivalent:

 Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 on Provision of Food Information to Consumers
 Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 on Nutrition and Health Claims made on Foods

Look at every aspect of the label and assess whether it complies with the legislation above. If it does not, you need to be able to state precisely what needs to be changed in order for it to comply with UK labelling requirements.

you are asked to prepare a report – this should be concise, accurate and enable the company to understand precisely where the label does not comply with required legislation and what it must do in order to produce a legally-compliant label
