Approved Label Information

During a recent visit to a wholesaler it was noted that a number of products were being distributed without all the approved label information. Even though labels are not technically approved in registrations, all the approved label information must accompany the product. In effect, this means that if approved information is not on the primary labels but is contained in leaflets, package inserts or outer packaging, this must be distributed with the product. If package inserts are not contained in outer packaging, care needs to be taken to ensure they do not become separated from the primary packaging during distribution.

Failure to provide the correct label information not only means the product does not comply with the ACVM registration but may also result in non-compliance with HSNO controls.
