Labels for food that people can read
- Allergens belong in a clearly visible place and in bold, as the tool does.
- Keep the type large enough to read at arm's length — about 7 pt or more.
- Use the code for extras: full ingredients, recipes or where it was made.
- Check local rules for mandatory label text before you sell.

Ideas by industry
Questions, answered
What should be on a food label?
Requirements depend on where you sell. Typically: the name, ingredients, allergens, quantity and a date, plus the producer's details. This tool helps you lay them out; check your local rules before selling.
Does this meet legal labelling rules?
BestQR does not give legal advice. Rules for fonts, allergen emphasis and mandatory fields vary by country, so use the QR code for extras, not as a replacement for mandatory text.
What should the QR code link to?
A page with the full ingredients, nutrition information, storage and your contact details, useful on small labels.
Which size should I choose?
A jar label of 60 × 40 mm fits a short list; use the wider or the tall layout for longer ingredient lists.
