8130 Labelling requirements

Labelling requirements differ among markets.

Apart from product standards, packaging and labelling often involved complex requirements.

Labelling requirements often had exacting disclosure requirements, and many importing countries were restricting the use of certain packaging materials for environmental reasons.

These requirements cover quality and health considerations as well as labelling rules, which may differ significantly among markets.

On the particular point of eco labelling, it was noted that all such schemes so far were voluntary.

Sometimes countries set national norms above accepted international requirements covering areas such as food safety, animal disease, product composition (e.g. in further processed meat products), packaging, labelling and presentation and shortening of acceptable shelf life (which can place imported products at a disadvantage especially for chilled items).
