Coffee Pouches

Yes, all pouches are safely packed in a barrier film that prevents moisture and oxygen from entering the pouches. This extends the shelf-life of your coffee grounds or beans.

If your coffee contains insignificant amounts of nutrients, then your item is exempted from the FDA nutrition labeling requirements. The exemption will also apply if your coffee product contains insignificant amounts of combined nutrients, such as coffee combined with cinnamon. However, any ingredient that has nutrients will have to be listed on the Nutrition Facts label.

Your coffee bag is also required to have a label for Nutrition Facts if it makes any of these claims:

• A claim for any of the nutrient content such as being healthy or low fat
• Health claims, e.g. “Diets that are low in sugar can reduce the risk of diabetes.”
• A function or structure claim such as being able to support healthy blood circulation

All food and beverage labels must contain the following:

• Name of your product
• Net quantity statement or the amount of the product (e.g. Net weight 500 g)
• Manufacturer, distributor, or packer’s name and address
• Ingredients list
• Nutrition Facts label (see the previous question if this is required for your coffee packaging or not)
• Food allergen labels if your product contains ingredients that fall under any of these or are a protein derivate of egg, milk, fish, tree nuts, crustacean shellfish, wheat, peanuts, and soybeans.
