HACCP label set for food labeling in the catering industry

In a catering kitchen, a single number often determines whether a food product may still be used: the date on which a package was opened, a batch was frozen, or a sauce was prepared. Anyone who fails to document this consistently risks non-conformities during the next food safety inspection. This set combines a two-line pricing gun with pre-printed HACCP text fields such as „geöffnet am", „eingefroren am" or „kühl lagern +2°C bis +7°C" with matching labels for frozen products and for removable use in cold storage. This allows ingredients, preparations, and leftovers to be labeled correctly in seconds, without handwritten notes or improvised sticky labels. Ideal for restaurants, canteens, catering companies, and large-scale kitchens that want to organize their internal controls reliably in accordance with food hygiene requirements.

Just before lunch service, quickly label the leftovers from the previous day, add a date to the thawed sauce, and mark the opened fish stock in the cold room – in a professional kitchen, several clocks are running at the same time. Anyone relying on notes and marker pens will sooner or later lose track, especially when multiple shifts and changing staff are involved. A labeling set that is precisely tailored to the processes in the kitchen and cold storage brings reliability to daily operations without slowing them down.

The Right Solution for the Hospitality Industry

Kitchen teams need to keep track of several dates every day: when an ingredient was opened, how long it remains usable, whether it has been frozen or thawed, and at what temperature it should be stored. Handwritten notes fade, come off when exposed to moisture, or are simply forgotten in the rush of daily business. During an inspection by the food safety authority, however, this traceability is exactly what matters. Missing or illegible information can quickly lead to complaints. A pricing gun with predefined HACCP text fields eliminates the need for staff to write labels manually and ensures a consistent appearance on every label, whether on the refrigerator, in storage, or directly at the serving counter.

What Is Included in the Set

At the center of the set is a two-line pricing gun that can print a date, time, weight, or price together with predefined text fields such as “mindestens haltbar bis”, “hergestellt am”, or “umgefüllt am”. A total of 15 different text variations are available, all specifically designed for everyday kitchen operations and cold-chain management. The set also includes labels for two different applications: a freezer-safe version with permanent adhesive for use in freezers and a removable version that can be taken off without leaving residue, making it ideal for containers in cold rooms that are regularly refilled and relabeled. Both label types are approved for direct food contact and certified according to the BRC standard.

Legally Compliant Labeling in Professional Kitchens

Hospitality businesses are required under EU Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004 to operate a self-monitoring system based on HACCP principles. This includes documenting production, opening, and storage dates of food products in a traceable manner so that shelf life and cold-chain compliance can be verified at any time. The law does not specify exactly how this documentation must be carried out in detail. In practice, labeling with dates and handling information has become a common solution accepted by inspection authorities.

Separate from this is the obligation to provide allergen information under the Food Information Regulation (LMIV) and the supplementary German Implementing Regulation (LMIDV). For guests, the 14 main allergens contained in food offerings must be identifiable, for example through menus, notices, or trained verbal communication. This set supports internal date and storage documentation in kitchens and cold rooms; allergen information for your guests must be organized separately.

Custom Labels for Your Hospitality Business

In addition to the standard texts, labels and print layouts can also be customized for your business, with your own logo, company colors, or special print designs for individual kitchen stations.
