Required and Optional Labeling for Loose Tea for Sale
2012
L your tea product correctly is a marketing as well as regulatory (legal) issue. An attractive and informative label/package can make a lasting impact on clients. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also has requirements for labeling a product, laid out in the publication Guidance for Industry: A Food Labeling Guide (http://tinyurl.com/nje6mh). The Hawaii Department of Health follows these guidelines in their own publication (http://tinyurl.com/3dslxto). This example label illustrates the minimum data you must provide consumers about your product according to the FDA guidelines. This example is for those businesses that process their own tea leaves. If a product is “manufactured for” or “distributed by,” the label will be slightly different. There are four required items for any label: product name in English, ingredients, net quantity, and responsibility statement. This information must also be provided in a minimum font size relative to the number of square inches on the “Principal Display Panel”
