Marel Ready for New EU Labeling Rules
Marel’s Innova Labeling software enables fish processors to create labels that
fulfill the new EU legislative requirements coming into force 13 December.

All fish processors operating within the EU need to comply with the new EU
Regulation 1169/2011, which affects labels accompanying all fishery and
aquaculture products for EU consumers. The legislation includes changes to
mandatory nutrition information on processed seafood, mandatory labeling of
catch area or country of production, and allergens information requirements.

Marel developed Innova Labeling to meet the food industry’s need for control and
automation of the labeling process from receiving to dispatch.

The software module’s visual label designer lets processors create labels with
texts, images, barcodes, and line graphics, using simple drag and drop options
and real-time visualization. Label contents are fully customizable, so it is easy to
comply with new customer, production, or legislative requirements.
