EU Compliance Basics for Indian Food Exports

Compliance 15 March 2026 5 min read

Labelling, residue limits and documentation buyers in Europe expect.

Labelling essentials

EU labels need the product name, ingredient list with allergens highlighted, net quantity, best-before date, storage conditions, lot number and the EU importer's name and address.

Residue and contaminant limits

Pesticide residues, aflatoxins and heavy metals must sit inside EU maximum limits. We test at accredited labs and share reports with each lot.

Traceability

Every lot should be traceable to farm or processing batch. Keep lot numbers consistent across invoice, packing list and cartons.

Before you order

Share your specification and target market early. It is much cheaper to design compliance in than to fix a rejected consignment.
