Whether you grew the fruit and processed it or bought the oil in bulk and blended it to your

specifications, obtaining certificates of authenticity for the quality and purity of your product is
important on a variety of levels. You may want to have your oil certified as extra virgin, extra light, or
pomace, or blended oil for example.

The PRIMARY DISPLAY PANEL (PDP) must include the name of the product (e.g. Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
and net quantity (in both Metric and U.S. Customary). This area is also the obvious place to put your
company brand information, although not legally required if the packaging has two label areas.

The INFORMATION PANEL (secondary display) typically includes the name and address of the
manufacturer, packer or distributor, the ingredient list, nutrition labeling, and UPC scanning codes. If
there is only one label area (PDP), company contact information must be included in that label.

PRIMARY DISPLAY PANEL LABELING

That is the dominant label that consumers will see when purchasing the product.

Statement of Identity (name of food): Identify the oil on the basis of its certified quality (for example,
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL) and, if it has been organically produced in accordance with U.S.
regulations, as ORGANIC.

Net Quantity Statement (amount of food): Food labels must show the net contents in both metric
(grams, kilograms, milliliters, liters) and U.S. Customary System (ounces, pounds, fluid ounces)
terms. The metric statement may be placed either before or after the U. S. Customary statement, or
above or below it. Consult our Useful Number Conversions page for conversion numbers.

 Most producers will also use another label area, the INFORMATIONAL PANEL LABELING, to
comply with other requirements. If you only plan to use one label, then the PDP must satisfy
these requirements as well (see below).

INFORMATIONAL PANEL LABELING

Name and address of the manufacturer, packer or distributor: This is a core requirement for all food
labeling. Unless the name given is the actual manufacturer, it must be accompanied by a qualifying
phrase that states the firm's relation to the product (e.g., "manufactured for "or "distributed by").

Ingredient list: If appropriate to the product content, identify any added ingredients beyond olive oil
(flavoring, herbs, etc.) in this area.

Nutrition labeling: This is a requirement unless your business does less than $500,000 in gross
product sales, or has an average of fewer than 100 full-time employees and you sold fewer than
100,000 units in the U.S. in the prior twelve months. You must apply for this exemption to the FDA.

UPC scan code: This is not a requirement of the FDA, but may be for store retailers.

DETAILED LABELING DIRECTIONS REFERENCES

For detailed directions on creating a product label, we strongly encourage you to consult two sites
that have exhaustive details about product food labeling:

FDA Food Labeling Guide: the FDA has an easy to follow “question and answer” type format.

NAOOA Brief Labeling Guide for Olive Oil The North America Olive Oil Association has put together a
brief labeling guide for olive oil that can answer most questions specific to olive oil product labeling.
HEALTH CLAIMS

In addition to general product information, any statements that make specific health claims are
investigated by the FDA. If you make health claims in advertising materials or on your website, then
the FTC has jurisdiction.

If you wish to claim specific health benefits from your product, there are three broad categories that
health claims can go into:

Health claims such as "reduces cancer" or "decreases chance of heart disease" are claims that must
be extensively documented with clinical trials. These types of claims are by far the most difficult to
gain approval of.

Structure or function claims such as "supports heart health" which are made on the label are easier
to justify as there are thousands of substances that can satisfy this limited statement.

Generally recognized as safe and effective (GRAS) is a new FDA safe area. A substance that will be
added to a food needs pre-market approval by the FDA unless its use is GRAS. There is a long list of
substances that have extensive research which you can borrow to assume the ingredient is GRAS.

STATE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

Until recently, olive oil importers had effectively blocked passage of more meaningful labeling. With
the passage of California State Senate Bill SB634 in 2008, olive oil labeling requirements are now
much stronger for products sold in California. The same has happened in Connecticut, New York, and
Oregon. As of December 2009, legislators in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Maryland are actively
working on similar laws. These laws can guide any state-specific laws you may want to be aware of.
