Greetings from Food Label News.
Read all about how an organic spice manufacturer navigated
complicated waters with its food labels in this month's case
study. The heat continues in the Q&A section where we answer

weight or volume. For spicy and other foods crossing the
border, we share a reader favorite about what you need to
know to ensure that your food labels pass through customs quickly.
Wishing you well!

Ground 2 Table Adds More Spice
A Case Study
Launching a line extension is not always as straightforward
as it may seem when it comes to label regulations.

Q. |
I have a viscous hot sauce. Should it be labeled by
weight or volume?
− J.C., Virginia, Manufacturer |
|
A. |
21 CFR 101.105 states that if the food is liquid, the
statement shall be in terms of fluid measure; if the
food is solid, semisolid, viscous, or a mixture of solid
and liquid, the statement shall be in terms of weight.
In general, these regulations are designed to help
consumers evaluate their cost/value without confusion.
