PLC is the premier full-service label consulting company.  Our Food Techs ensure that over 98% of your labels get approved by the USDA after resubmittals (compared with 63% industry-wide).  Because we process more than 10% of all labels approved by the USDA, PLC has more experience than any other consultant in food label compliance.  We offer the following family of services:

• Label Review
• Label Development
• Premium Access
• Label Audits
• Label Outsourcing

Assuring that your food label is accurate can be confusing & time-consuming, especially as regulations differ between USDA and FDA foods.  For over 40 years, PLC has been reviewing food labels with our team of Food Technologist label experts on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. near the offices of the USDA.  If you want timely label approvals, you will need an experienced Food Tech reviewing your application to ensure that the myriad of regulations, policies and unwritten expectations are met.  PLC will also determine if your label qualifies for Generic approval, avoiding the long wait times at the USDA.  If your label needs to be submitted to the government, ensuring that it is accurate upfront is critical to timely approval.  Otherwise, rejection of a label can lead to multiple delays and costly production interruptions.

We provide:

• USDA & FDA 3-level label reviews - with Express, Priority and Standard services
• Child Nutrition labeling and approval
• Certificate of Compliance for Generically Approved Labels or submission to USDA
• Type-it-up service for handwritten forms not acceptable to the government
• Food technologists trained in label formulation and nutrition
• Convenient access to the USDA & FDA from our Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C. location

To ensure full compliance with the complex and myriad requirements of the FDA & USDA, PLC offers an auditing service which examines your labels and labeling practices for accuracy and efficiency. With the volume of labels we process each day, we can easily identify common errors and deficiencies often overlooked by food companies. We:

• Review your labels for compliance & accuracy and identify non-compliant labels
• Review your documentation and record-keeping procedures & recommend "best of breed" practices
• Assess in-house skills and recommend specific training
• Provide a detailed action plan identifying problems and suggesting solutions
• Share expertise and labeling techniques onsite with your staff
• Audits performed by a food technologist with plant experience

By eliminating prior label approval, the USDA is shifting compliance efforts to the food industry.  PLC's auditing services may help reduce the risk of your products coming under government scrutiny.
