Analysis and support for labeling your products
Ensure compliance and transparency of your labeling
Product labeling is essential for ensuring regulatory compliance and clearly informing consumers. Whether in the food, animal nutrition, nutraceutical, or plant and cosmetic industries, it is crucial to comply with legal requirements for displaying information.
Thanks to our network of partner laboratories, YesWeLab supports you in verifying and validating your labels. Our specialized laboratories perform precise analyses using cutting-edge technologies to ensure the accuracy of the data displayed and help you avoid any risk of non-compliance.

Analyses adapted to your sector for reliable labeling
Each industry has its own labeling requirements. YesWeLab laboratories perform specific tests to meet these standards:
1. Food industry
In the food industry, labeling must meet strict standards regarding nutritional composition, allergens, and health claims.
For example, for a yogurt manufacturer, we conduct detailed nutritional analyses to determine protein, fat, carbohydrate, and vitamin content. This data allows us to create labels that comply with current regulations while highlighting the product's nutritional benefits.
We also validate nutritional tables, analyze allergens, verify the conformity of nutritional claims (e.g. “high in fiber”, “source of protein”), and control additives and preservatives.
2. Animal nutrition
Products intended for animal feed require strict labeling. Our analyses verify the composition of animal feed, thus ensuring its quality and safety.
We verify the nutritional composition of products using various analytical methods (NIR, HPLC, GC/MS/MS, etc.). This allows us to guarantee the content of macronutrients (nitrogenous matter, starch, cellulose, NDF, ADF, ADL, etc.) and micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc.). We ensure compliance with the requirements of regulatory labeling for animal feed.
3. Pet food
Pet products require accurate and reliable labeling.
For example, for a dog food manufacturer, we analyze the protein, mineral, and vitamin content, and check for the absence of contaminants, thus ensuring a safe and nutritious product.
We also verify analytical compositions (protein, fat, mineral content) and ensure compliance with regulatory labeling requirements for pet products.
4. Nutraceutical
Dietary supplements and nutraceutical products must display clear information about their active ingredients and benefits. We help you validate this information through specific analyses, ensuring your labels are compliant.
For example, for a manufacturer of omega-3 capsules, we check the content of essential fatty acids and the absence of heavy metals, thus guaranteeing a quality product.
We also analyze active ingredients, verify compliance with health claims, and check dosages and mandatory information.
5. Plants and cosmetics
For herbal products and cosmetics, labeling must include information on ingredients, their origin, and any precautions for use. Our laboratories perform analyses to verify the composition and purity of your products, allowing you to create reliable and compliant labels. For example, for a moisturizer manufacturer, we analyze the content of plant-based active ingredients and verify the absence of allergenic substances, thus ensuring a safe and effective product. We also check the INCI composition, validate claims (e.g., "hypoallergenic," "organic," "paraben-free"), and ensure compliance with marketing standards.

Current regulations for compliant product labeling
Product labeling is governed by strict regulations designed to protect consumers and ensure transparency of information. Each sector of activity is subject to specific standards defined at European and national levels.
1. Agri-food: Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 on consumer information
This regulation requires the mandatory display of certain information on foodstuffs, such as:
- The list of ingredients, with allergens highlighted.
- Nutritional information (energy, fat, carbohydrates, protein, salt).
- The date of minimum durability (MDD) or the best before date (BBD).
- Specific mentions for organic, light or enriched products.
Our laboratories analyze the conformity of declared nutritional values, the veracity of nutritional and health claims, as well as the possible presence of undeclared additives.
2. Animal nutrition: Regulation (EU) 767/2009 and Directive 2008/38/EC
Animal feed is subject to specific rules concerning:
- The analytical composition of food (proteins, fibers, fats, ash).
- Authorized additives and their mandatory declaration on the label.
- Traceability of raw materials and their origin.
YesWeLab supports you in validating analytical compositions and verifying the absence of prohibited substances.
3. Nutraceutical: Regulation (EC) 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims
Food supplements must comply with:
- The prohibition of unauthorized therapeutic claims.
- The scientific justification of functional claims (e.g. “contributes to the maintenance of normal skin”).
- The obligation to mention the recommended daily intake (RDI).
Our laboratories carry out quantification analyses of active ingredients to guarantee the validity of the information appearing on the labeling.
4. Plants and cosmetics: Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 on cosmetic products
Cosmetic labeling must contain:
- The INCI list of ingredients, listed in descending order of concentration.
- Mandatory precautions for use and warnings.
- Shelf life after opening (SLO).
