Dairy Labels FAQs
What constitutes a dairy product in the UK?
Dairy products in the UK encompass a range of items derived from the milk of mammals, primarily cows, goats, and sheep. This includes milk, cheese, yoghurt, and butter. Each of these products requires specific labelling to inform consumers about their origin, contents, and nutritional value.
How should dairy products be labelled in the UK?
In the UK, dairy products must adhere to strict labelling regulations. This includes clear identification of the product, nutritional information, allergen warnings (especially for lactose), and storage instructions. Labelservice can help with compliance with these regulations, providing labels that are both informative and resilient.
How can I identify if a product is dairy-free?
Dairy-free products are labelled with specific terms like ‘dairy-free’ or ‘non-dairy’. These labels also highlight alternative ingredients used instead of dairy. At Labelservice we provide clear and accurate labelling solutions to distinguish dairy-free products effectively.
Is it mandatory to label butter as a milk product?
Yes, in the UK, butter must be labelled as a milk product due to its high dairy content. This includes specifying ‘milk’ in the allergen information section of the label.
What are the different classifications for milk products?
Milk products are classified based on fat content, processing methods, and added ingredients. These include whole milk, skimmed milk, flavoured milk, and fermented products like yoghurt. Labelservice can offer tailored labelling solutions for each classification.
Are lactose contents typically listed on dairy labels?
Lactose content is usually listed on dairy labels, especially if the product is marketed as low-lactose or lactose-free. This is crucial for consumers with lactose intolerance.
Do eggs fall under the category of dairy products?
Eggs are not classified as dairy. Dairy products are derived from milk, whereas eggs are laid by birds. However, both are often grouped together in dietary guidelines due to their similar nutritional profiles.
Are products like chocolate, mayonnaise, yoghurt, eggs, and milk all classified as dairy?
Of these, only yoghurt and milk are classified as dairy. Chocolate may contain dairy if milk is an ingredient, while mayonnaise and eggs are not dairy products.
. What are the UK regulations governing dairy labels?
UK regulations for dairy labels require clear disclosure of ingredients, allergens, nutritional information, and origin. These regulations ensure consumer safety and informed choices.
What type of label material and adhesive is used for dairy labels?
The choice of label material and adhesive is crucial for dairy products, given their exposure to various environments like refrigeration and moisture. At Labelservice, we use high-quality materials and adhesives specifically designed for dairy products. Our labels are typically made from durable materials like Oriented Polypropylene (OPP) and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), which offer excellent resistance to moisture and temperature variations.
The adhesives we use are specially formulated to maintain strong adhesion in cold, damp, or even frozen conditions, ensuring that the labels remain intact throughout the product’s lifecycle. This is particularly important for products like ice cream, yoghurt, and milk, which are often stored in refrigerated or freezer environments.
