Simply7 Nutrition Facts in Record
Time – A Case Study
It was Thursday and a major national grocery chain informed
this food manufacturer that an order for their new product
line could only be placed if food labels were delivered by Monday morning.
The food
manufacturer's next call was to Food Consulting
Company. There was no time to waste.

|
They got on task immediately despite missing
nutrition information, suppliers in different time zones and
even overseas, and
conflicting names for flavors and ingredients. Making the
complex simple is one of the things Food Consulting Company
does so well.

Q. |
I have a product that is made with hand-peeled green
chiles. Is it allowable to list it as "Hand-Peeled Green
Chiles" in the ingredient statement, or is only "Green
Chiles" acceptable?
− D.C., New Mexico, Food Manufacturer |
A. |
21 CFR 101.4 states that the common or usual name must
be used in ingredient labeling. In this case, the common
or usual name is "green chiles." Descriptions such as
hand-peeled, pure, extra premium, and Grade A, are not
acceptable for use in ingredient statements.
