Food Labels

Gerber food consultants offer a comprehensive review & compliance of food labels in accordance with the new South African regulations:

South African Food Labels regulation-The regulations Governing the Labeling and Advertising of Foodstuffs are part of the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics & Disinfectants Act (Act 54 of 1972) which controls the sale, manufacture and importation of all foodstuffs within South Africa. This Act is regulated by the Department of Health (DoH). The old regulations (from 1993) were outdated and the intention was to replace them with more effective rules to strengthen the effectiveness of food labeling legislation, close all known “loopholes” and incorporate new developments resulting from scientific research as well as international Codex Standards and Guidelines. Hence the compilation of the new regulations by DoH’s Directorate: Food Control (DFC).
