Expert guidance for food certifications, regulatory compliance, and labeling.
Certified
Certainty.
Navigating gluten-free, allergen-free, and specialized claims is a technical minefield. We bridge the gap between "free-from" innovation and strict regulatory compliance, ensuring your product is as safe as it is delicious.
The Claims Matrix
Specialized food products require more than just a replacement ingredient. We engineer the entire system—texture, stability, and flavor—to meet the highest certification standards without sacrificing consumer appeal.
Gluten-Free Engineering
Strict <20ppm compliance. We engineer formulas that maintain texture without gluten-containing grains. We provide full R&D support for this claim, from ingredient vetting to final lab validation for your food product development.
It's Trickier Than
You Think.
Certifications are not just badges; they are technical commitments. A single wrong ingredient or a lapse in co-packer hygiene can invalidate months of R&D. We provide the expertise to navigate the "tricky" bits of food certification.
Regulatory Volatility
FDA and USDA standards evolve. We keep your formula ahead of the curve, ensuring longevity in your claims.
The Co-Packer Hurdle
A gluten-free formula is useless in a non-certified facility. We help vet co-packers for claim compatibility.
Our Certification Lifecycle.
We don't just hand over a recipe; we hand over a compliant system.
Regulatory Gap Analysis
We analyze your target claims against current FDA, USDA, and international standards to identify hurdles early.
Formulation Guardrails
Building the recipe within the strict constraints of the desired certification from day one.
Co-Packer Audit Support
Reviewing facility certifications to ensure your manufacturing partner can actually support your claims.
Technical Documentation
Generating the spec sheets, allergen statements, and traceability logs required for certification bodies.
Food Certification Strategy
Developing gluten-free food products and allergen-free CPG items requires a deep understanding of food science and regulatory requirements. At Mesh Food Labs, we go beyond simple substitutions. Our R&D team analyzes ingredient synergy to ensure that "free-from" products match the sensory profile of their traditional counterparts. This is essential for maintaining consumer loyalty in competitive categories.
For brands targeting top 9 allergen-free certification, the stakes are high. We provide comprehensive support for navigating cross-contamination risks and cross-contact prevention. This includes helping you select the right certified food co-packer whose facility meets the rigorous standards required for your specific label claims.
Our food certification consulting services cover a wide range of nutritional claims, including low sugar, organic, and non-GMO project verification. We help you engineer "clean label" formulations that replace synthetic ingredients with functional alternatives, meeting the growing consumer demand for transparency in food product development.
Choosing an experienced partner for food regulatory compliance ensures that your product is ready for the market. We generate all necessary technical documentation, from allergen statements to nutritional facts, ensuring a seamless transition from the lab to commercial scale-up with your manufacturing partner.
