Compliant back-of-pack labels generated directly from the approved product spec, so they can never fall out of sync.
Product Labelling exists because a label and the recipe behind it should always say the same thing. In practice, when labelling is a separate design step from spec management, they can quietly drift apart: an ingredient changes, and nobody remembers to update the artwork. Food Trace’s Product Labelling feature removes that gap by generating labels directly from the approved product specification, in line with gov.uk food labelling and packaging rules, so there is no separate design process for the core content to fall out of sync with.
Because labels are built from the same specification data as the recipe itself, there’s no risk of a label going out of sync with what’s actually in the product. Food Trace reports that 100% of labels remain traceable back to an approved product spec.
All 14 major UK and EU allergens are flagged automatically at the recipe level, QUID percentages are calculated as ingredients are added, and traffic-light nutrition panels are generated from the McCance & Widdowson-based nutritional calculation built into Recipe Builder, with sub-recipes such as sauces or marinades rolling their allergens and nutritionals up automatically.
Getting a label wrong is not just a design mistake. Incorrect or outdated allergen information is one of the leading causes of food recalls in the UK, and getting product labelling right the first time protects both customers and the business. By generating labels straight from the approved specification, Food Trace removes the manual step where errors like this usually creep in, and keeps every printed pack aligned with what is actually in the product.
Every change is tracked with a full audit trail, so teams can roll back or compare label versions side by side, all without a separate labelling tool sitting outside the specification workflow.
Food Trace is trusted by UK food brands including Selfridges, Itsu and Fortnum & Mason. Read more about Product Labelling or book a free demo. Contact: sales@traceallglobal.com | 0333 2020311
