U.S. conventional food label checklist

How to use this checklist

Start with one exact SKU and package size. Gather the quantitative formula, supplier specifications, allergen matrix, nutrition calculation, package dimensions, business-role records, final-size artwork, and every claim-bearing asset. Leave an item unmarked whenever the evidence is missing, contradictory, unreadable, or tied to another version.

A marked item records that a first-pass step was performed. It does not prove that calculations, names, order, units, placement, type size, claims, exemptions, jurisdiction, or state requirements are correct. Preserve the reviewer, source, decision, and version separately, and rerun the checklist after any material change.
