FIR-st Class
Planglow Launch Three Further Allergen and Nutri Label Designs
By law all food providers must now make their customers aware of the presence of 14 potential allergens* within their products. This is part of the Food Information Regulation - or FIR - and the legislation has dramatically altered the ways in which caterers must now label their produce. With this mind, labelling experts Planglow have created three new label designs to aid the provision of allergen information and nutritional data on pack: the quick-tick-box Allergen Label; lux-finish Prima Nutri Label; and back of pack Plain Nutri Label.
Rachael Sawtell, marketing director for Planglow commented, "These new designs have been developed to support providers through the changes in law as well as those looking to exercise best practise - both now and in the future.
"Prima Nutri provides a premium, colourful setting for basic front of pack information plus full nutritional data on the back. Whilst the Plain Nutri Label is for providers wanting to continue using their current labelling on the front of pack by adding allergen, nutritional and other info to the rear. The Allergen Label is primarily for back of house as it combines kitchen prep and allergen info in one resource"
Allergen Label
Combining allergen and kitchen prep information in one handy quick-tick label, the Allergen Label is fully legislatively compliant. Designed to highlight allergens identified in product ingredients, the cost effective label ensures transparency, improves kitchen practices and supports consumer safety. Offering excellent adhesion in fridges and freezers (-40°C to 50°C), the easy peel adhesive removes from most materials down to-2°C. What's more, the label comes on an easy-tear roll and is packaged in a handy dispenser.
Prima Nutri Label
The lux-finish Prima Nutri Label comes with six labels, in three different colour-ways, per-sheet: glossy fold-over designs each featuring a bright, photographic border. The 'front' of the label has a silver, premium-feel background, while the 'back' has a large white panel with the same high quality colourful border. Both are ready to be overprinted with any information the provider wishes to add. Fold the label over the pack to form a break seal, displaying basic product information on the silver front panel and ingredients, nutritional box and barcode on the back. First class and FIR compliant every time!
Plain Nutri Label
Like the Prima Nutri Label, the Plain Nutri Label comes in a large six-per-sheet format. This matt-finish product is ideal for providers looking to add FIR compliant allergen info, nutritional data, ingredients and barcode to the back of the pack, but without changing their existing front of pack labelling. The Plain Nutri Label may also be used for internal and back of house processes too due to its spacious sizing- use LabelLogic to create barcodes, batch numbers, multiple dates and weights.
