Brewery Label and Packaging Compliance Insurance Labelling
A wrong label can mean a recall: missing allergen or standard drink information, wrong strength, or an incorrect best-before date. These mistakes often only show up after the product is out the door.
Example
How cover can respond in practice
A brewery finds that a label has the wrong alcohol percentage across a whole run. The beer is recalled and relabelled. Recall cover may help with costs, depending on whether labelling errors are included.
