Statutory Product Labeling Standards in the UAE

Over 70% of customs cargo holds in the UAE are caused by packaging labeling deficiencies. Under UAE and Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO) technical regulations (such as GSO 9 for food labeling and GSO 1943 for cosmetics), products must display accurate bilingual Arabic/English information, standardized ingredient names, net volume/weight, country of origin, batch numbers, and production/expiry dates in approved formats.

Bilingual Arabic Text & Translation Audit

Verifying that Arabic translations accurately reflect ingredients, directions of use, and warnings without misleading claims.

Nutritional Panel & Allergen Warnings

Auditing food nutrition fact panels, front-of-pack traffic light labeling, and bold allergen declarations.

Prohibited & Restricted Claim Review

Eliminating unverified medical claims, therapeutic promises, or non-approved organic/halal logos.

Production & Expiry Date Formatting

Ensuring date markings strictly adhere to DD/MM/YYYY or MM/YYYY formatting rules without stickered tampering.
