Here at Positive ID Labels are always happy to find a new enquiry from a potential customer sent in to our website. However, from time to time there will be a pesky so and so who tries to use us as a free advice service, asking for legal requirements or a sandwich labelling fundamentals. We would like to point out that we are not a free advice service!
But because Positive ID Labels are always keen to help where we can we are going to write a series of blogs explaining everything you need to know regarding sandwich labelling 101. Just to clear it up once and for all!
The reason for this is that if the customer has any allergy questions based on the food they are about to purchase then they are supposed to be able to ask the food maker, whose job it is to know this information, and therefore not need to read the label.
Another reason for this is also that if the food is prepared in store by the demands of the customer, the assumption is that the food will be eaten fresh. Sandwich labelling fundamentals assume that the buyer will know their own allergy ailments. This would therefore not require a use by date or storage information. So if the food is served fresh, it is up to the customer to request this information if they do not mean to eat the sandwich in the immediate future.
If you are required to label a sandwich, there is a range of information that must be included.
What the contents are
Where it was made
When it should be consumed by
What the storage method should be
What the ingredients are
What allergens are in the ingredients
What the nurtition values are per 100g for

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”.
