Beyond the label\u00a0design, the messages relayed on the label and the manner to express them should not be neglected.<\/p>\n<p>In Canada, food labelling is regulated by several acts and regulations. Regulations prescribe not only what may and must be said on a label, but also the wording and the phraseology to use.<\/p>\n<p>One should therefore entrust the translation of his labels to translators knowledgeable about the regulatory requirements of food labelling.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a good knowledge of food labelling regulations with basic French and English writing skills may not suffice for the translation of food labels to be sold in Canada. It is imperative to thoroughly master both official languages of Canada as well as the food labelling regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Eurofins is a food labelling consulting firm that requires its employees to master both French and English. In fact, having strong linguistic abilities in both official languages is a selection criteria.<\/p>\n<p>Entrusting the labelling of your food products to Eurofins is choosing peace of mind.\u00a0You avoid the risks related to non-compliance, and you improve your chances of making a good impression to consumers with linguistic quality above reproach.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/acclabel.com\/en\/services-and-products\/linguistics\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to see what happens when a company entrusts the translation of its labels to the wrong person.
