Certifications, origin & market access
Tell us what your market requires.
Requirements may include Kosher, Halal, Organic/Bio, USDA Organic, Made in Italy origin or US-market documentation, including FDA facility registration where applicable. Each is assessed separately; listing a requirement does not confirm product availability or certification.
- 01Define the requirement
Identify the destination market, product, required origin and accepted certification.
- 02Check the evidence
Confirm feasibility and the exact product, production site and current documentation.
- 03Approve the wording
Use only supported claims and authorised marks in the final specification and artwork.
Certifications and origin are confirmed per product and production facility. Organic/Bio and USDA Organic are distinct requirements to verify. FDA registration is not product approval or certification. Cosmo Food EU coordinates projects and does not issue certification.
Discuss your product requirementsBefore we build your range
Do we need a finished product brief?
No. Start with your category, destination market, indicative volume and target positioning. We help turn these into a brief for manufacturer review.
Can the recipe or packaging change after sampling?
Yes. Sample feedback can return to product development or packaging, followed by another review. Production follows agreed final specifications and artwork.
Can certification requirements be part of the same project?
Yes. Define the required standard and accepted certifying body at the start. Feasibility and certification scope are confirmed for the selected SKU, site and programme.
How long will it take, and what is the minimum order?
Both depend on the product, pack, manufacturing route and approvals. We confirm the schedule and minimum quantities with the selected manufacturer.
What is private-label food?
Private-label food is made by a manufacturer and sold under your brand. The product, recipe, packaging and responsibilities are agreed for the selected project.
How do we choose a manufacturer in Italy or Europe?
Start with the product category, destination market, indicative volume and pack. We assess suitable manufacturing routes against the brief, including technical capability, required documentation and commercial feasibility.
How is a private-label food project priced?
The quotation depends on the recipe, ingredients, pack format, quantity, development work, certification requirements and delivery terms. Share these details so the selected manufacturer can review the project. We do not use a single price or minimum order for every product.
