QTRACA's AI Label Review analyses your food labels against NZ, AU, and US regulatory requirements — flagging errors, missing declarations, and allergen issues before they leave your facility.
Covers MPI Food Regulations · FSANZ Food Standards Code · FDA 21 CFR Part 101
Most food recalls trace back to labelling — allergen declarations, missing regulatory statements, incorrect nutrition information. The consequences go well beyond reprinting.
Pulling product off shelves, notifying retailers, managing logistics — all while your team is diverted from normal operations. A single recall can set a business back months.
Enforcement notices, penalty infringement orders, and public naming by the regulator. For repeat or serious violations, prosecution and licence suspension are very real outcomes.
Retailers delisting your product, lost ranging agreements, and consumer trust that takes years to rebuild. For smaller manufacturers, a single high-profile incident can be existential.
Most of these incidents are preventable. Allergen declaration errors, missing regulatory statements, and nutrition panel issues are the most common recall triggers — and with AI Label Review, the most avoidable.
QTRACA's AI doesn't just look for typos — it checks your label against the actual regulatory requirements for your target market.
Cross-references ingredients against the mandatory allergen list for each region. Checks that all required "Contains:" statements are present, clearly formatted, and correctly placed.
Validates the nutrition panel layout, required nutrients, per-serving and per-100g declarations, and formatting rules — all against the applicable regulatory standard.
Checks that country of origin statements meet the specific format and placement rules for your target market — NZ, AU, and US each have different requirements.
Reviews best-before and use-by date formatting, placement, and labelling conventions against current food standards requirements for each regulatory region.
Reviews ingredient listing order, naming conventions, and compound ingredient declaration rules. Catches common formatting issues that regulators look for.
Every label review is logged with the flagged items, the regulatory basis for each finding, and the outcome. Stored against your product record for future reference and audits.
Upload your label design — PDF, image, or file format. Select the target regulatory region (NZ, AU, or US). QTRACA handles the rest.
The AI scans the label against the current regulatory requirements, flags each issue with the specific rule it relates to, and categorises findings as Pass, Warning, or Fail.
Work through each finding. Accept the recommendation, note a reason for variance, or revise and re-upload. The review record is saved to your food safety records automatically.
Whether you're selling in New Zealand, Australia, the United States — or all three — QTRACA's AI Label Review knows the rules for each market and checks your labels accordingly.
Fix label issues at the design stage, not after 10,000 units are already printed — or worse, already in market.
When a complaint or recall query comes in, you have documented evidence that a proper pre-release compliance check was completed.
