Zubi food labelling software speeds up NPD calculations and associated QA management for quicker time to market.

It automates the process for label calculation and creation, for example, it can automatically generate allergen statements based on ingredients in recipe. The cloud-based solution is always online and accessible from any device.

Calculations are locked in for low error rate and recipes are editable for quick updating, keeping them compliant.

The result is a reduction in recall risk with the ability to quickly report on what products have what ingredients in them. All ingredient and product data are in a single unified location providing a single source of truth.

In its latest update, Zubi has included a calculation function for reconstituted products. It offers a new way for manufacturers of food and drinks that must be reconstituted with water before consumption to calculate NIPs accurately, quickly, and securely.

“The new features will be of interest to companies that have dried products that are reconstituted, such as powdered drinks, where the nutrition info panel on the label needs to show values for the powder when it has water added and is ready-to-drink,” says Cathy McArdle, technical advisor to Zubi.

Following the voluntary administration of Recycling Plastics Australia and confirmation that no Commonwealth packaging scheme will be introduced this term, voices from across the packaging and recycling value chain have delivered a blunt assessment of what is at stake.

Pact Group CEO and managing director Sanjay Dayal has advised the board that he intends to leave the company, with an executive search now under way for his successor.

With a Commonwealth packaging scheme ruled out this term, pressure is building ahead of the 18 September Environment Ministers Meeting, as industry, recyclers and environmental groups demand clarity on what meaningful national reform can still be delivered – and when.
