Food Label Review

FDA Food Label Review for Food & Beverages

Before placing a food or beverage product in the U.S. market, your label should be checked against the applicable FDA labeling requirements.

REGISTRO-FDA.US helps exporters, manufacturers, importers, and brand owners review food and beverage labels before distribution in the United States. We check the label elements that commonly create problems: Nutrition Facts, serving size, ingredient list, allergen declaration, product identity, net contents, manufacturer or distributor information, and claims such as "low sodium," "sugar free," or other nutrition or health-related statements.

You receive a clear compliance review report with the points that should be corrected, plus verification of the changes applied within the scope of the review.

Who needs an FDA food label review?

A food label review is useful when your company wants to reduce labeling risk before selling, importing, redesigning, or expanding a food or beverage product in the United States.

This service is commonly requested by:

Label review is not the same as FDA facility registration. Label review checks the product packaging. Food facility registration is a separate requirement for certain facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for consumption in the United States.

Does the FDA approve or certify my food label?

No. The FDA does not approve, certify, or issue a seal for food labels before the product is sold.

The FDA publishes and enforces food labeling requirements. The company responsible for the product is responsible for making sure the label follows the applicable rules.

That is why this service is called a food label review, not “label approval.” A review helps identify labeling issues before distribution, but it is not an FDA authorization, FDA seal, or government certificate.

Be careful with any provider selling an “FDA-approved label certificate.” For food and beverage labels, that type of certificate does not exist.

How REGISTRO-FDA.US helps with your food label review

We review your existing label against the applicable FDA food labeling requirements and prepare a practical report showing what should be corrected.

Our review may include the format and content of the Nutrition Facts panel, serving size, product identity, ingredient list, allergen declaration, net contents, manufacturer or distributor information, and label claims.

After you apply the corrections, we verify the changes within the scope of the review so your team has a clearer path before printing, importing, or distributing the product.

If your facility also needs to be registered with the FDA, that is handled as a separate process. You can review our FDA facility registration service at /en/fda-registration/.

What does the food label review include?

Nutrition Facts Review

We check the Nutrition Facts panel for formatting, serving size, servings per container, units, required nutrients, daily values, and presentation issues that may affect the label.

Existing Label Review

We review your current food or beverage label as submitted. This may include product identity, ingredient list, allergen declaration, net contents, manufacturer or distributor information, claims, and other visible label elements.

Compliance Review Report

You receive a written report listing the points that should be corrected. The goal is to make the required changes easier for your design, export, or compliance team to understand.

Change Verification

After your team applies the corrections, we verify the updated label within the scope of the review. This helps confirm that the identified observations were addressed.

Food label review pricing

Our pricing starts at:

$595 USD — first label
$100 USD — each additional label in the same category

The final total depends on the number of labels, product variations, and categories included in the review. To prepare an exact quote, send your labels in high resolution and include basic product information.

This pricing covers the label review and the report within the agreed scope. The responsible company must still meet all applicable requirements, including food facility registration, import requirements, inspections, and any product-specific rules that may apply.
