Food Label Maker provides robust tools for creating and customizing nutrition labels to meet your specific needs. This guide explains how to edit ingredients, allergens, and adjust the layout of your labels.
Overview of Nutrition Label Customization
Food Label Maker allows you to create nutrition labels that comply with regulatory standards while offering customization options for ingredients, allergens, and layout. Whether you need to adjust the placement of information or edit the ingredient list, the platform provides intuitive tools to help you achieve your goals.
Editing Ingredients and Allergens
Renaming Ingredients
To rename ingredients on your nutrition label (e.g., changing "ground pork" to "pork" or using "extender" instead of "binder"), follow these steps:
Open the label editor in the Food Label Maker application.
Navigate to the Customize Label step.
Select Edit Ingredients/Allergens.
Rename the ingredients as needed and save your changes.
Editing Ingredient Statements
If you need to modify the ingredient statement to remove unnecessary details (e.g., supplier names) or adjust repeated content, follow these steps:
Go to the Customize Label section in the label editor.
Select Edit Ingredient Statement.
Make the necessary changes to the ingredient statement, such as:
Removing supplier names or other extraneous details.
Adjusting repeated content for clarity and conciseness.
Ensure that the updated ingredient statement complies with your region’s labeling regulations (e.g., UK, EU, or US).
Save your changes.
To edit the ingredients or allergens list on your nutrition label, follow these steps:
Navigate to the 'Customize Label' tab in the application.
Locate the 'Edit Ingredients & Allergens List' button on the upper right side of the screen.
Click the button to open the editing interface.
Make the necessary changes to your ingredients or allergens list. You can also include detailed ingredients from other items if needed.
This feature ensures that your label accurately reflects the contents of your product while adhering to regional labeling regulations (e.g., UK, EU, or US).
Adjusting Label Layout
While the Nutrition Facts Panel (NFP) is generated in a standard format to comply with regulations, you can customize the layout of your label by downloading individual sections of the NFP. This allows you to:
Place the ingredients and manufacturing/lot information next to the nutritional panel instead of below it.
Design the label to better suit your packaging needs.
This flexibility ensures that your labels are both compliant and visually appealing.
