USDA/FDA Approval

MFP designers will ensure your labels are approved by all required organizations. Through our experience in the food industry we utilize knowledge and contacts to quickly and accurately produce FDA or USDA approved labels.

The FDA is responsible for protecting public health by assuring the safety and efficacy of drugs, biological products, medical devices, cosmetics, products that emit radiation and the nation's food supply. The USDA is a full federal government department headed by a cabinet member, the Secretary of Agriculture. It has a number of specific missions carried out by agencies under its supervision. These missions include economic and marketing assistance to farmers and ranchers, food safety, and efforts to end hunger.
