On the one hand, the information protects consumers and, on the other hand, enables them to make purchasing decisions to their advantage.

They assess whether the food is suitable for them on the basis of the labeling.

After all, <strong>every penny counts<\/strong>: rejects due to errors or poor quality must be avoided, as well as time-consuming food labeling processes that lead to additional costs. In addition, new legal requirements must be observed on a regular basis. It is not uncommon for the staff to be unskilled. Whether meat labels, beverage labels or a label for honey, the application of legible food labels must always be <strong>fast, precise and legally correct<\/strong>. In the process of food labeling, <strong>inkjet printers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.de\/en\/products\/thermal-transfer-printers\/\">thermal transfer printers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.de\/en\/products\/labeling-systems\/\">labeling systems<\/a><\/strong> as well as hand-operated label dispensers are often used.<\/p>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tThermal transfer printers transfer information using ink ribbons. <b>Heat<\/b> is used to transfer the <b>color of<\/b> the thermal transfer ribbon to the target material.

The <b>high cycle rate<\/b> and <b>moderate operating costs<\/b> represent a major practical benefit of fully automatic labeling systems. A differentiation must be made between automatic label dispensers, which transfer already existing labels, and fully automatic labeling systems, which print the required label themselves by using food label templates. The latter category thus offers a 2-in-1 function.\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<b>Manual<\/b> label dispensers and <b>semi-automatic labelers<\/b> are suitable for very small batches for which the conversion from automatic processes is not worthwhile in terms of finances and time.

It is mandatory information. The respective information provides information on <strong>how<\/strong> the products must be <strong>labeled<\/strong> for consumption and what <strong>minimum information<\/strong> must be included on the packaging. The label basically provides consumers with relevant information on ingredients, quality characteristics and properties of the respective food.<\/p>\n<p>Since 13.09.2014, the <strong>European Food Information Regulation (LMIV) (EU)<\/strong> No. 1169\/2011 is in force. With regard to nutrition labeling, the regulation has been active since 13.12.2016. In principle, the content applies to all EU member states. However, it is possible that additions or more detailed provisions will be made on certain points by the member states.<\/p>\n\t<p>The Food Information Regulation<strong>(LMIV<\/strong>) (EU) No. 1169\/2011 first regulates readability, as the mere presence of the information is not sufficient. All information should be recognized and perceived by the customer without much effort. For this reason, the mandatory information must be properly <strong>placed<\/strong> in a highly visible location, easily <strong>legible<\/strong>, easy to <strong>understand<\/strong> and, if necessary, <strong>permanently<\/strong> affixed. Under no circumstances may the labeling be obscured by distracting information or signs. Regarding the size, the mandatory information of a food must be shown in at least 1.2 millimeter font.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/ITW5-Kopie.jpg\" alt=\"ITW5 - Copy\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"ITW5 - Copy\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<h2>Mandatory information on food labels<\/h2>\n\t<p>Legislation provides for the following food labeling information:<\/p>\n\t<p>The mandatory designation of a food represents one of the most important pieces of information for the consumer. If there is no legally binding name for a product, a designation must be chosen that represents the product well and accurately. The guiding principles of the German Food Book, which is published by the German Food Book Commission, are helpful here. The body of this commission consists of 32 members from science, monitoring, consumer and business. In the book, the general marketing view on the composition and designation of numerous food genera is made explicit. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the declarations with the great practical relevance are not binding, but rather correspond to an expert opinion. Regular reviews of the guiding principles are carried out on the basis of the current state of knowledge.<\/p>\n\t<h2>Food labeling<\/h2>\n<table  data-tablesaw-minimap>\n\t\t\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th id=\"pp-table-col-1\" scope=\"col\" data-tablesaw-sortable-col>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/th><th id=\"pp-table-col-2\" scope=\"col\" data-tablesaw-sortable-col>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/th>\t\t<\/tr>\n\t<\/thead>\n\t\t<tbody>\n\t\t<tr data-row-index=\"1\"><td>(LMIV) (EU) No. 1169\/2011<\/td><td>statutory provision<\/td><\/tr><tr data-row-index=\"2\"><td>Guiding principles of the German Food Code<\/td><td>practically important recommendations<\/td><\/tr>\t<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t<h2>Do not pay more than necessary for your labeling<\/h2>\n\t<p>Our goal is to make your labeling simple and efficient.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"#support\" target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArrange consultation now\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h2>Download case study by J\u00fcrgen Langbein free of charge<\/h2>\n\t<h2>This is what convinced premium sauce maker J\u00fcrgen Langbein of the IJ4000 large character printer<\/h2>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tThe print data comes directly from the merchandise management system\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t  Direct printing is cheaper than labeling  \n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t  High print image quality  \n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Case-Study-IJ4000-Juergen_Langbein-EN-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload now for free\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Titel-Juergen-Langbein-EN.png\" alt=\"Titel J\u00fcrgen Langbein EN\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"691\" width=\"977\" title=\"Titel J\u00fcrgen Langbein EN\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Case-Study-Hitachi-UX-DMK-Group-EN_2020.jpg\" alt=\"Case Study-Hitachi UX-DMK-Group-EN_2020\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"1061\" width=\"1500\" title=\"Case Study-Hitachi UX-DMK-Group-EN_2020\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<h2>Download DMK Group case study free of charge<\/h2>\n\t<h2>What convinced DMK of the Hitachi UX and Diagraph<\/h2>\n\t<ul>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tThe high printing speed\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tThe IP65 protection class\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\tThe simple operation\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Case-Study-Hitachi-UX-DMK-Group-EN_2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload now for free\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t<h2>Arrange consultation now<\/h2>\n\t<p>Whether food printing or food label printing &#8211; for our customer it is only three steps to perfect labeling:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Diagraph_Button-1_81x81px.png\" alt=\"Diagraph_Button-1_81x81px\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"81\" width=\"81\" title=\"Diagraph_Button-1_81x81px\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>Consulting<\/p>\n\t<p>Competent and personal advice<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Diagraph_Button-2_81x81px.png\" alt=\"Diagraph_Button-2_81x81px\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"Diagraph_Button-2_81x81px\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>Installation<\/p>\n\t<p>Installation of the appropriate marking solution<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diagraph.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Diagraph_Button-3_81x81px.png\" alt=\"Diagraph_Button-3_81x81px\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"Diagraph_Button-3_81x81px\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>Efficiency<\/p>\n\t<p>Your plant runs efficiently and is easy to operate<\/p>\n\t<p>Our motto is: &#8220;CODING MADE SIMPLE&#8221;.

Here you can find more details.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>What are the regulations for food labels and food labeling?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Labels for food must comply with the regulations of the European Food Information Regulation (LMIV) (EU) No. 1169\/2011 described above. These regulate the mandatory information on packaged foods in the European Union in a comprehensive, precise and largely product-independent form. In addition, the provision defines mandatory information in distance selling. This includes mandatory information in online trading or mail order before the conclusion of the purchase contract.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>  Are there special regulations for certain foods?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes, in fact, there is a whole series of special regulations in addition to the LMIV. These product regulations each apply to specific subject areas. Examples include the Jam Regulation, the Dairy Products Regulation, information on imitations such as analog cheese, warnings for certain ingredients (such as a high caffeine content), the indication of the alcohol content of beverages with a volume percentage above 1.2% or the mandatory freezing date for meat, meat products and unprocessed fishery products. The identity mark for meat, fish, poultry, milk, cheese &amp; Co. also ensures that the producer of these animal products is known. Furthermore, European and national legislation on additives must be observed. Organic food also has its own set of regulations &#8211; this must be taken into account in addition to the general labeling requirement.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>What are the options for labeling food? \/ What types of printers can be used?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Several options exist for printing on food products. In the food industry, inkjet printers, thermal transfer printers, and label dispensers\/labeling systems are primarily used to apply labels to food products.
