A beautiful coffee bag that isn't compliant can't legally go on a shelf.
Pre-packed coffee sold in the UK needs a legal product name, a net quantity, the name and address of the responsible food business, appropriate date marking and a batch or lot identifier for traceability.
Coffee is straightforward on allergens as a single-ingredient product, but the moment you add flavourings, dairy or anything else the requirements change and need checking properly rather than assumed.
Storage and preparation guidance isn't always legally required, but it protects the cup — and it protects you from complaints caused by how the customer stored the bag rather than how you roasted it.
We handle date and batch marking as part of production so the traceability chain runs from green lot to the bag on the shelf. Brand-specific claims — organic, Fairtrade, origin statements — need their own certification and evidence.
Product name, net quantity, responsible business name and address, date marking and a batch identifier, as a minimum for pre-packed coffee.
Plain roasted coffee is simple, but any added ingredient changes the picture — check it properly rather than copying another brand's bag.
Only with valid certification covering your product and supply chain. Uncertified claims are a compliance risk.
Yes — date and batch marking are applied during production as standard.
