Review before printing
A layout helper—not a compliance decision.
Food labeling rules depend on the product, where and how it is sold, your business type, and federal, state, and local requirements. The FDA says manufacturers are responsible for labels that meet applicable requirements, and home-based businesses should also consult state and local health authorities.
Common questions
Know what this generator does—and does not do.
Does this create an FDA-approved label?
No. The FDA does not pre-approve ordinary food labels, and this tool cannot determine which rules apply to your product. It creates an organized draft for review.
Does it generate Nutrition Facts?
No. Accurate Nutrition Facts generally require a complete formulation and reliable nutrient data or laboratory analysis. This tool focuses on the surrounding package-label layout.
Why is the cottage food statement editable?
Required language varies by jurisdiction. Replace the example with the exact statement supplied by the state, county, or local authority that regulates your business.
Which major allergens are listed?
The selector includes milk, egg, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame—the nine major allergens identified under current U.S. federal law.
