Food Packaging & Labelling

Packaging & Labelling Safety Compliance

Food packaging and labelling play a critical role in protecting product integrity, ensuring consumer safety and meeting regulatory requirements. As food regulations continue to evolve, manufacturers, importers, exporters and brand owners must ensure that packaging materials and product labels comply with applicable food safety standards, legal metrology requirements and market-specific regulations.

We provide comprehensive food packaging and labelling compliance solutions that help businesses verify the safety of packaging materials, validate regulatory conformity and reduce the risk of non-compliance during regulatory inspections, product launches and export activities.

Food Packaging & Labelling Testing Services

Food Packaging Compliance Testing

Packaging materials are the first line of protection between food and the external environment. Inadequate packaging can result in contamination, migration of hazardous substances, deterioration of product quality, reduced shelf life and regulatory non-compliance.

Our packaging evaluation services support compliance with the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging) Regulations, 2018, and subsequent amendments, including recent provisions related to recycled PET (rPET) food-contact materials. Regulatory authorities continue to strengthen requirements around food-contact substances, migration limits, material traceability and sustainable packaging solutions. The 2025 amendment introduced provisions for the use of recycled PET in food packaging under defined safety and quality criteria.

Honesty and scientific rigour are essential to ensuring that you receive fast and reliable information on which to base data-driven decisions.

Food Labelling Compliance Review

Food labels serve as the primary communication tool between food businesses and consumers. Regulatory authorities increasingly scrutinize product claims, nutritional declarations, allergen statements, ingredient listings and marketing representations to prevent consumer deception and ensure transparency.

Recent regulatory actions by FSSAI have highlighted increased enforcement against misleading health, organic, “healthy,” “zero maida” and similar claims that are not adequately substantiated. Food businesses are expected to ensure that all product claims are scientifically supported and aligned with regulatory requirements.

Our labelling review services evaluate compliance with the Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2020 and subsequent amendments. These regulations define mandatory declarations, nutritional information requirements, allergen disclosures, ingredient declarations, claim substantiation requirements and display specifications for pre-packaged foods.
