Nutrition labeling mistakes to avoid in food product development

Nutrition labeling errors can delay launch and create risk after you ship. Most mistakes are avoidable when labeling is planned alongside formulation.

Common mistakes

• Claims that are not supported by the final formula
• Serving sizes that do not reflect real usage
• Ingredient declarations that are not aligned with suppliers
• Late recipe changes that invalidate nutrition data

How to avoid issues

• Align claims strategy early with the formulation plan.
• Confirm supplier specs and update labels when ingredients change.
• Validate the final formula before generating the nutrition panel.
