Printing satisfactory bakery labels can be just a small part of pursuing better practices at your manufacturer. According to a recent release from the FDA, the Puerto Rican-based company known as Los Genuinos, Inc. will suspend operations as it attempts to comply with recommendations to improve its business.
There are multiple parts to this, but one of them is updating the labels the company has used to reflect the presence of “a food allergen and unsafe color additive” in its products (the allergen being wheat).
The seriousness of the order is in part because this company supplies different locations within the country. When a business is operating in relatively close quarters like that, their label printing processes need to be correct to avoid causing harm for such a diverse client base.
In the original letter sent to the owner of the company, Nicolás Rivera Berríos, the FDA noted 4 different labeling violations in regard to the business’ products, some of which were found to be “adulterated.”
Among the other areas that the FDA identified as problems for Los Genuinos was the general cleanliness of the headquarters, which included the presence of pests like ants, spiders and flies in food processing areas.
In addition to wheat, any bakery that is supplying stores, cafeterias or other places where their goods might be purchased should consider researching the things that might cause reactions. Then, they should create allergen-sensitive printing labels that warn about their contents. The American Diabetes Association has a list of ingredients that include gluten, such as semolina, spelt, and different kinds of flours.
