It arrives blank of any decision. What it communicates is whatever the person holding the pen marks on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat this label does not do.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is printed paper. It does not test food, it does not verify what is in a dish, and it does not make a kitchen compliant with anything. Avery publishes no allergen testing or verification claim for it, no HACCP claim and no certification by any body, and neither do we. What goes on the label is decided by whoever applies it, and the accuracy of that decision is the kitchen's, not the label's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe against the food itself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Avery's answer, on their Food Safety Labels FAQ rather than on the product page, is \u003cstrong\u003eno\u003c\/strong\u003e: their food safety labels are not intended for direct food contact and are designed to be applied to the outside of containers, packaging or storage surfaces, which keeps the label adhesive and ink away from the food itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvery publishes a temperature range of \u003cstrong\u003e-5°C to 60°C\u003c\/strong\u003e and calls the range safe for refrigeration. That covers a fridge and a commercial cool room. It is not a freezer rating, because -5 does not reach freezer temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvery publishes nothing about testing or verifying an allergen, no adhesive residue claim, no shelf life for the label stock itself, no waterproof, oil or moisture resistance and no dishwasher instruction for this code.
