Nutrition Declaration Exemptions – What doesn’t need a declaration
Positive ID Labels have developed a nutrition calculation software (Nutridata) to help meet the EU regulations. Nutrition information is required on pre-packed foods available for sale off site from the place of manufacture. However, nutrition declaration exemptions are specified for a number of foods so we have knocked up a list for you just in case.
Nutrition Declaration Exemptions are in place for the following foods:
Unprocessed products that comprise a single ingredient or category of ingredients;
Processed products which the only processing they have been subjected to is maturing and that comprise a single ingredient or category of ingredients;
Waters intended for human consumption, including those where the only added ingredients are carbon dioxide and/or flavourings;

Orexis Fresh Foods Ltd is a family run Food Manufacturing Company specializing in ethnic dips, Mexican dips, luxury salads and sandwich fillings. Orexis Ltd approached Positive ID for a simple cost effective way to apply a “Best Before” and “Batch Number” to a range of their products.
The answer was to use a two line-labelling gun. George Katsaros from Orexis said “we have been using Positive ID for 3 years now and they initially advised us correctly about the right products to use and have been well pleased and served by them since”.
