Dairy Labels FAQs

What constitutes a dairy product in the UK?

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?

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.

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.
