FMCG Passports — from your existing labels and sustainability reports
FMCG products heading to the EU market need a 42-field Digital Product Passport covering EU ESPR sustainability data and Food Information to Consumers Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 mandatory labelling. TracePass reads your existing label text, sustainability reports, and PIM packaging specs and produces a compliant passport per SKU — no duplicate data entry. In TracePass onboarding, 60–70% of the required DPP data already exists in the business; the remaining gap is typically lifecycle carbon and supplier-sourced material declarations.
Our promise
Compliance-ready in 2–4 weeks, without changing your existing systems.
Who this is for
Producers, importers, and retailers of food, beverages, cosmetics, personal-care, and household-cleaning products placed on the EU market.
How TracePass helps — FMCG
Concrete things TracePass does for this category — not a list of what the regulation requires.
Schema covers ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) sustainability fields + FIC Regulation 1169/2011 mandatory food-information fields in one passport — so a single FMCG SKU satisfies both the consumer label and the regulatory DPP record from the same source data.
Open Food Facts + brand-page research fills ingredients, allergens, packaging material automatically — no duplicate data entry against your existing label.
Carbon-footprint pre-fill from brand sustainability reports where published — Coke, Nestlé, Unilever already disclose per-format numbers you can cite.
Structured ingredients list with allergen flags built-in; INCI for cosmetics, food names for food, disambiguated by subcategory.
Batch creation scales to retailers with thousands of SKUs per product family.
Packaging fields map to the separate Packaging template — one passport reference if your brand already created packaging DPPs.
What's in the FMCG template
42 fields — The fields aren't abstract — here are the groups you'll actually work with:
- Brand + GTIN + subcategory
- Ingredients (structured, allergen-flagged)
- Net content + nutrition
- Packaging material + recyclability
- Country of origin + bottling
- Shelf life + storage
- Carbon footprint (lifecycle)
- Certifications (Fairtrade / organic / FSC)
Questions buyers in this category ask
What regulations does the FMCG Digital Product Passport cover?
The TracePass FMCG template covers 42 mandatory fields spanning both EU ESPR (Regulation (EU) 2024/1781) sustainability data and the Food Information to Consumers Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 mandatory labelling — so a single passport per SKU satisfies both the consumer-facing label compliance and the regulatory DPP record from the same source data.
Our label already lists ingredients. Do we enter them again?
No. TracePass reads the label text (PDF, product-page, or printed label via image OCR) and extracts the ingredients list into structured form. Review once, stays structured forever.
We have 5,000 SKUs in 40 countries. Multilingual labels, carbon per format. Can TracePass handle this?
Product-line + variant architecture: one product line per recipe, variants per country / pack format. Shared fields propagate; country-specific fields (certifications, disposal instructions) are overrides. Carbon per format is a per-variant field.
Half our DPP work is PPWR packaging data, not the product itself. Does TracePass cover the packaging overlap?
Yes. For FMCG the DPP and PPWR packaging requirements overlap heavily, so packaging facts like material composition, recyclability and format weights belong in the same per-SKU passport as the product label and sustainability data. Upload your packaging specs and material declarations alongside the product datasheet, and the AI extracts both into the relevant fields with a confidence score and a link back to the source document. You review and approve before anything publishes, so the packaging data you sign off on is the data that goes live.
Our compliance team won't let AI-generated label claims go public unchecked. Who is accountable for what gets published?
You are, and TracePass is built around that. The AI never publishes on its own: it extracts each FMCG field from your own documents like labels, sustainability reports and material declarations, attaches a confidence score, and shows the exact source it pulled from, so your compliance team reviews every value against the original before approving. Nothing reaches the public GS1 Digital Link QR passport until a human signs it off. This keeps the speed of AI extraction while leaving the regulated claim firmly in your hands.
