The Client
La Madeleine Country
French Café, an established chain of casual
bakery cafés with 60 locations across the
country required development of nutrition and
ingredient information for their menus and
product labeling to ensure compliance with food
labeling regulations for restaurants and food
service. |
|
The Challenge
Management of nutrition and ingredient
information for menus and product labels for a
large food service organization takes continual
care and attention to detail. As La Madeleine
introduces new menu items, refines recipes and
alters ingredients, they need a solution to stay
abreast of changes and ensure continued label
and nutrition information compliance. In
addition, unique state and local regulations
have required special attention to ensure 100%
compliance. |
|
The Solution
La Madeleine
executives called on Food Consulting Company
given their nutrition and regulatory reputation
and expertise in the industry. Food Consulting
Company quickly created the nutrition and
labeling information for all menu items and
product tags. From baked goods to beverages,
they managed the nutrition analysis for all
items and prepared Nutrition Facts and
Ingredient Statements for packaged food
products. To comply with specific state and
local regulations, Food Consulting Company also
created label components and reviewed final
artwork for inclusion on printed menus and
product tags. In addition, it was important to
ensure that La Madeleine stayed current with
their compliance when changes were made to food
items. Food Consulting Company initiated a
process to review all new and modified recipes
and products on an ongoing basis, acting as the
company's virtual food labeling department. |
|
The Results
As a result of the
work Food Consulting Company performed and their
ongoing review, Management has peace of mind
that its ever-changing menu and food products
are consistently 100% compliant with all
labeling regulations, despite nuances in several
key markets. Internal reviews continue to be
most positive: Food Consulting Company is an
invaluable partner as they consistently deliver
their work on time and with a very high level of
accuracy. |

"For a
company like ours that does not possess the
knowledge or experience in food labeling and
menu labeling compliance, Food Consulting
Company made a complicated process easy for us
to follow and to keep current."
Susan Dederen, Senior Director of
Culinary Operations,
La Madeleine Country French Cafe
