Why are custom labels reviewed?

Custom labels need to be reviewed by the coffee roasters as a safety precaution to help ensure FDA compliance.

The coffee roasters review all custom labels. This is where the supplier checks to ensure the label will not put the supplier’s license and reputation with the FDA at risk due to a non-compliant label.

The responsibility for submitting 100% compliant labels rests on you, the merchant.

Precautions:

  • Using the label review company to 'test' if a label is compliant is not only bad practice but does not protect your brand.

  • The review process ensures that a brand's labels do not put the coffee roasters at risk.

  • This does not indicate that the label is FDA-compliant.

This process is a huge advantage to anybody using Dripshipper and allows you to bypass the process of submitting labels to a printer and paying for each individual label.

Each merchant is responsible for their brand and their labels.

This is the legal responsibility of the merchant, and you should be aware that this process is here to protect the supplier's licenses and reputation with the FDA as well as to prevent the brand from being shut down or even sued (when they fail to follow required standards).


Creating a food label is a big deal and brands spend thousands of $$ to get it right. Because we make it so easy, it does not remove the responsibility each merchant has for following 21CFR.
