In an increasingly globalised world, exporting food products has become a key strategy for many companies. However, one of the biggest challenges faced by companies wanting to expand into international markets is ensuring compliance with food labelling regulations in each country.
At BBLTranslation, our project managers coordinate a team of experts on food label translation, made by translators specialised in food safety and nutrition, who ensure that products comply with local regulations.
Why is translating food labels essential?
Food product labels not only provide essential information to the consumer, but must also comply with strict international regulations. An incorrect or incomplete translation can result in penalties, the withdrawal of the product from the market, or, even worse, loss of customer confidence.
Key elements for a correct food label translation
- Regulatory compliance in each country of destination: each market has its own specific requirements on food labelling. Regulations such as Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 in Europe or the FDA regulations in the U.S. establish stringent criteria that must be respected.
- Specialised translation: it’s not just a matter of translating words, but understanding the technical and legal language associated with food safety and nutrition.
- Cultural and linguistic adaptation: a literal translation is not always effective. It’s essential that the terms are easy to understand and culturally appropriate for each target audience.
- Verification of ingredients and allergens: each country has different requirements for how ingredients and allergens should be declared on the labelling.
