Creating FDA Compliant Nutrition Facts Labels with Genesis R&D
- 1. Creating Government Compliant Labels with Genesis R&D Food Formulation & Labeling Software
- 2. Webinar Objective Learn how to create Nutrition Facts Panels using Genesis R&D. • Label Development – Label Formats – Voluntary Nutrients • Ingredient Statement • Allergen Statement • Nutrient Content Claims • Bar Codes 2
- 3. Creating A Label With Genesis R&D users can create a variety of Government Compliant Labels. • European Union • Canada • Mexico • United States 3
- 4. Variety of Label Formats 4
- 5. US Standard Nutrition Facts Label 5 This is the most common label format. This format is recommended unless there isn’t enough continuous vertical space to do so. If there is not enough space, you may use the side-by-side (split) format and place the footnote to the right of the label.
- 6. US Standard Nutrition Facts Label 6 Ability to Add Voluntary Nutrients
- 7. US Tabular Nutrition Facts Label 7 If the package does not have enough continuous vertical space or the total available space is less than 40 square inches, you may use the tabular (horizontal) format instead.
- 8. US Linear Nutrition Facts Label 8 If the available labeling space is 40 square inches or less, and the shape cannot accommodate the “side-by-side” or tabular formats, you may use the linear format.
- 9. US Aggregate Nutrition Facts Label 9 An Aggregate Label may be used on the outer label of packages that contain two or more separately packaged foods that are intended to be eaten individually or on packages that are used interchangeably for the same type of food such as a variety or multipack of pies, breakfast cereals, chips, or candy bars. Information for each item is listed in a separate column.
- 10. US Dual Declaration Nutrition Facts Label 10 The Dual Declaration Label is used when the food requires further preparation, such as dry cake mixes, cereal or dry pasta products. One column lists information for the product as packaged and one column for the product as prepared or, in the case of cereal, as commonly eaten.
- 11. US Child Nutrition Facts Label 11 Use the Child Nutrition Label format for foods intended for children. Child labels include infant, under the age of 2, and under the age of 4.
- 12. Ingredient Statements 12 • The ingredient list on a food label is the listing of each ingredient in descending order of predominance (weight). • The Ingredient Statement is automatically generated in Genesis.
- 13. Allergen Statements • A food allergen is an ingredient that is one of the following foods or is an ingredient that contains protein derived from one of the following: – Egg – Fish (e.g., bass, flounder, or cod) – Milk – Peanut – Shellfish (e.g. crab, lobster, or shrimp) – Soybeans – Tree Nuts (e.g., almonds, pecans, or walnuts) – Wheat • Allergen Statements can be created in Genesis 13
- 14. 14 Allergen Statements FALCPA requires food manufacturers to label food products that are made with an ingredient that is a major food allergen in one of the following two ways:
- 15. Nutrient Content Claims 15 • Nutrient content claims describe the level of a nutrient in the product, using terms such as free, high, and low, or they compare the level of a nutrient in a food to that of another food, using terms such as more, reduced, and lite. • Genesis R&D shows you what Nutrient Content Claims can be made.
- 17. Bar Code 17 • Enter Manufacturer Code • Enter Product Code • Add top Text • Add bottom Text
- 18. Looking Ahead • Predicted Release Date: March 2016 • Proposed Label already in Genesis • What about added sugar? 18
- 19.

Genesis R&D Food Analysis & Labeling Software • Released in 1991 • Label Development • Recipe Formulation • Product Development • Menu Analysis • Nutrient Analysis • Nutrient Search • Reporting Features • Audit Trails 20 "We have been using the Genesis R&D program since the early 90s, and I have been extremely happy with it. The layout is very user-friendly and the databases are comprehensive and, with the support program, always up-to-date. The few times that I have needed help, usually due to an error on our end, I have found their technical support folks to be responsive and very helpful. I would highly recommend this program."

Editor's Notes
- For the purpose of this webinar, we will focus on creating a US label
- Standard, Tabular, Linear, Aggregate, Dual Declaration, Child, Bilingual Full or Simplified Format
- Genesis does the “hard” work of applying NLEA rounding rules, nutrient placement, and layout of the Nutrition Facts panel
- Genesis allows users to add voluntary nutrients to their labels.
- Again, Genesis does the hard work to layout the information on the label as per regulations, as well as calculate and correctly display the additional footnote.
- Label options include a single label for any child age bracket, or Dual Labels to combine 2 age groups into a single panel.
- Comments: Genesis has built-in functionality to force Ingredient Statements to all uppercase, regardless of how entered. Also has capability to list ingredients which comprise <2% separately Possibly add a second side with same info but showing <2%.
- Allergen statements are required for all foods that have allergens. If your food product does not include one of the listed allergens, you do not need to include an allergen statement. FALCPA requires that in the case of tree nuts, the specific type of nut must be declared. FALCPA also requires that the species must be declared for fish and Crustacean shellfish.
- For US labeling, Genesis adopts the right side option. Regulations vary by Country. For example, European Union requires Allergens as part of the Ingredient Statement, which Genesis incorporates automatically in the available EU labeling module.
- The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) permits the use of label claims that characterize the level of a nutrient in a food (i.e., nutrient content claims) if they have been authorized by FDA and are made in accordance with FDA's authorizing regulations. Nutrient content claims describe the level of a nutrient in the product, using terms such as free, high, and low, or they compare the level of a nutrient in a food to that of another food, using terms such as more, reduced, and lite.

- If the final rule for the new Nutrition Facts label is issued between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2016, food manufacturers will have until January 1, 2018 to comply with the new regulations. This compliance date was set on December 10, 2014. ESHA is researching the proposed labeling guidelines and will be ready to launch the new label once the final guidelines are released. The FDA predicts that the final action will take place in March 2016, but we are told by our FDA sources that this is a soft date and that there is not firm date for release at this point. (Reference for the March 2016 predicted date: http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=FDA-2012-N-1210 ) In anticipation of the new guidelines, ESHA will be populating added sugar data for foods that fit the definition listed in the proposed regulations. These foods include sugars, syrups, fruit juice concentrates, high fructose corn syrup, honey, molasses and others. This data will be available for pure ingredients in our summer Genesis software release so that users can see how their formulations would look in the proposed label format. The proposed regulations include updated standard serving sizes, for example the standard serving size for ice cream increases from ½ cup to 1 cup. So, it will be important for users to keep this in mind as they consider how their products look in the new label.
