Firm prepares advice for fi rms to meet tougher rules
belgiumEsko has outlined details of a comprehensive strategy for helping companies to adapt their packaging in the face of new regulatory compliance regulations on nutritional labelling.
Philippe Adam, vice-president of global marketing at Esko, said an incoming “wave of new legislation” to educate customers had implications for “the food and beverage industry, as well as many pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies”
“With our new tailored solutions and smart software capabilities, we can help,” he said. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is introducing a modernised nutrition facts label for packaged foods, with compliance required by July 2018.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has since proposed updated nutritional information for meat and poultry products.
Regulators in Canada and France are taking a similar approach, with others set to follow.
Esko has devised three solutions. Solution 1 starts with the Brand Owner, Solution 2 starts with the artwork and Solution 3 is full system integration.
