The Fundamentals of Food Price Labeling
In our food retail sector, the regulations surrounding price display are strict and specific. We’ll guide you through these key requirements for your business.
Legal Price Display Requirements
Displaying prices is a legal requirement that applies to all food businesses, regardless of their size. Prices must be expressed in euros including tax and be visible without the customer having to ask. For pre-packaged products, both the total price and the price per kilogram or liter must be displayed.
Mandatory Information on Labels
Price tags must include several key pieces of information:
-
The exact name of the product
-
The clearly visible price including tax
-
The unit price (per kg/liter) for pre-packaged products
-
Any additional fees (such as delivery)
Types of Labels According to Product
We offer various types of labels tailored to specific needs. For products displayed in windows or showcases, the tag or sign must be placed directly next to the item. For perishable food items such as fruits, vegetables, meats, and fresh dairy products, specific labels are required.
Items stored in drawers or back rooms must also be individually labeled, except in certain cases like bulk goods. At Etal Shops, we understand these requirements and offer a complete range of labels that comply with regulations for every type of presentation.
Choosing Your Professional Price Tags
For us, as food retail professionals, choosing the right price tags is crucial to ensuring the optimal presentation of our products. We guide you through the essential criteria for selecting the labeling material best suited to your needs.
