Key Information

Online labelling solution – Gen-Label

From October 2021, new legislation, which applies to England, Wales and Northern Ireland, will mandate full ingredient and allergen labelling on foods which are pre-packed for direct sale. This legislation will be legally enforced under Natasha’s Law.

Bunzl Catering Supplies can help businesses to fully comply with this new labelling requirement through its Gen-Label Online software solution. The specialist software allows you to build and maintain lists of ingredients including specific allergens and then simply print them off onto pre-formatted blank labels using a standard PC and laser-jet printer.

Accessed via a secure web portal, Gen-Label Online is quick and simple to use. It manages all of your labelling requirements from product descriptions, ingredients and bar codes to allergen and nutritional information, including the government’s front of pack traffic light system. Instantly updateable, Gen-Label Online enables you to amend labels and comply with changes in food labelling legislation with ease.

It really is that simple. All the software is hosted via a cloud-based application and users can be set-up with login details within a matter of minutes.
