This blog has mentioned many times before the various reasons why it’s important to create correct, legible food labels that can be easily consulted and counted on. One major incentive to do this is to ensure that consumers with certain allergies don’t unknowingly ingest something harmful. This is a problem that can affect a business on any level, whether it is a mom and pop bakery or a massive corporation shipping food products nationwide.
Producers Tyson Foods Inc., perhaps best known for its chicken products, has had to issue a recall due to what a press release on the USDA website deems a labeling discrepancy. Apparently, some of its items, such as “Uncooked Breaded Chicken Tenderloins” may have been made with a marinade that contained soy last month without being labeled accordingly. So far, there don’t appear to have been any reports of allergic reactions.
It’s a clear indication of the kinds of problems improperly made labels can cause, as the Arkansas-based company is recalling approximately 127,000 pounds of these kinds of chicken-based items. Food companies producing on a grand scale can run afoul of their own reach in this situation if they mislabel foods sold to restaurants and other distributors with potentially dangerous unlabeled ingredients in them.
While some businesses may find it easy enough to recover from such a misstep, it can prove fatal to a company with more limited resources to which every movement is crucial. As such, it can be an immense relief to have the use of an accessible color label printer to make labels that don’t leave room for error or result in a major loss.
