Regulation & Compliance3 discussions

Can you create a single back-of-bottle label that complies with both US and UK regulations?

No—members confirm this is not feasible. The US and UK have significantly different back-of-pack (BOP) requirements, and even some front-of-pack (FOP) differences. The US requires a Surgeon General warning, whilst both countries require importer/distributor information with different specifications. Space constraints make a compliant dual-market label impractical, and this applies across all product categories including non-alcoholic drinks. Members recommend treating US and UK labels as separate SKUs rather than attempting to combine them.
