Ground 2 Table Adds More Spice
The Client
Ground 2 Table makes organic spice blends and gourmet flavor kits without any salt, sugar, artificial flavorings, and GMOs. The freshly ground organic spice blends are offered in single use packets to keep flavor fresh for beginner cooks to accomplished chefs. Ground 2 Table is an organic way to turn ordinary meals and snacks gourmet.
The Challenge
Ground 2 Table launched a new line of 12 organic spice blends and wanted to ensure regulatory compliance for the new products’ labels. The products were unique as they packaged fresh herbs and dried spices together in a kit for one serving and required a multi-serving pack. In addition, Ground 2 Table wanted to make special claims on the package. Given the need to secure retailer adoption for this new line of products, they wanted to create compliant labels for sell-in and avoid any FDA issues downstream.
The Solution
Food Consulting Company provided Ground 2 Table staff with informative and valuable guidance for their package labels to ensure they met FDA standards. Working through each formulation, Food Consulting Company helped food labelers at Ground 2 Table develop nutrition and ingredient information to include on the package labels. Use of “salt-free” and “no sugar added ” nutrition claims required Ground 2 Table to include Nutrition Facts Panel on the labels to guarantee compliance. Food Consulting Company advised Ground 2 Table on this and guided the development.
The Results
Food Consulting Company not only helped Ground 2 Table achieve FDA-compliant labels but went above and beyond to make sure that those involved were comfortable with all of the information they supplied. Company staff noted that the process of working with Food Consulting Company’s experts was highly educational. The approach they learned enabled Ground 2 Table to develop labels for similar products on their own with all the confidence that they were created correctly. Additionally, applying what the staff learned to other projects enabled Ground 2 Table to save money.
“Food Consulting has a client for life in Ground 2 Table and we look forward to working together in the future for all our food labeling needs!”
