    Welcome to our food labeling course! Here we'll introduce the main components of creating an FDA and CFIA complaint food label.  We'll start by looking at the different elements that make up a food label. We'll do a high level overview of each of the major components including the statement of identity, net quantity statement, nutrition facts panel, ingredient list, allergen declaration, and manufacturer name and address.

  • Required Labeling Elements

Requirements

  • No prior nutrition experience is needed. In order to create a compliant label you will just need to know the ingredients and amounts that go into a recipe and what that recipe yields. Sometimes a digital scale can be helpful in determining yields, waste, and moisture loss, but is not required.
