AEG expertise / Food & Beverage
Food labeling consultant for U.S. packaged foods and beverages
Nutrition analysis, food labeling, and regulatory support for sports nutrition, bakery products, bars, confections, beverages, snack foods, sauces, and dressings.
Discuss your product ↗U.S. FDA-regulated conventional foods and beverages. Review covers 21 CFR Part 101, including § 101.9; ingredient and major-allergen labeling includes FALCPA and the FASTER Act. Serving size is checked against applicable requirements, including the relevant reference amount customarily consumed (RACC).
Outputs for the agreed workstreams
- Genesis R&D-based Nutrition Facts panel file and nutrient analysis report
- Ingredient and major-allergen statement
- Nutrient-content and implied-claim review memo
- Marked-up preliminary or final label artwork
The proposal identifies deliverables, file formats, estimated hours, and artwork review stages. Work is billed hourly, including revisions; the project estimate sets out the agreed scope.
Turnaround by workstream
Genesis R&D-based panel work averages about one week from a complete formula and supporting documents. Claims-only review, artwork-only review and on-shelf label audits receive a project-specific delivery date after Aimee assesses the scope and materials.
Inputs for the review
- Formula with ingredient amounts
- Supplier specifications and allergen details
- Serving size and directions
- Current or draft artwork
- Exact proposed claims and available nutrition data
- Target U.S. market and print date
Exclusions
Laboratory testing, legal opinions, USDA labeling or approval, Canadian labeling, Proposition 65 assessments, NDI notifications, claim-substantiation dossiers, and regulatory filings are outside the standard label-review scope.
Any notification, new dietary ingredient, or substantiation issue is flagged. Additional work or specialist involvement must be assessed and agreed separately; it is not included or promised by a panel review.
A closer look
What the review covers
Nutrition analysis & Nutrition Facts — 21 CFR 101.9
Connect formulation and ingredient data with nutrition information and Nutrition Facts panels. Aimee’s industry experience includes Genesis R&D analysis, with serving size reviewed against the applicable labeling requirements rather than treated as a marketing choice.
Ingredients & allergens — FALCPA and FASTER Act
Bring ingredient order and allergen declarations together with the supplier and raw-material documentation that supports accurate label information, including incidental sources when specifications are available.
Claims & product messaging
Review nutrient-content claims, implied claims, and product messaging for scientific accuracy and regulatory alignment, informed by experience collaborating with Scientific Affairs and Legal teams.
Label artwork & regulatory support
Review preliminary and final label artwork for required statements, panel format, prominence, and consistency with the agreed formula, nutrition data, and claims.
Category-specific review questions
- Bars, snacks, and bakery products: serving size, package configuration, compound ingredients, and major allergens.
- Beverages: serving and container presentation, dilution instructions where relevant, and proposed nutrient-content claims.
- Sauces and dressings: ingredient order, serving basis, supplier data, and formulation changes that affect declared values.
