Fresh food labeling plays a critical role in grocery operations — especially in departments like deli, bakery, meat, seafood, produce, and prepared foods. These departments depend on scales and label printers to deliver accurate product information directly to customers.
But are your systems keeping up with the pace of change?
At Focus Digital Solutions, we help grocery retailers modernize and streamline the way fresh product data flows from the back office to every customer-facing label. Here are four key challenges stores face — and how we solve them.
Changing Recipes, Static Labels
Fresh departments frequently rotate seasonal items or adjust recipes. However, synchronizing these updates with labeling devices is often manual, error-prone, or delayed — leading to incorrect:
- Nutritional information
- Ingredient lists
- Allergen declarations
Our Solution: We ensure every scale and label printer reflects the latest product specifications — no outdated data, no manual rekeying, and no compliance risk.
Allergen and Nutrition Compliance
Undeclared allergens are the leading cause of food recalls in the U.S. Shared prep areas and recipe substitutions — especially in bakery and seafood — increase the chance of labeling errors.
Our Solution: With centralized control and real-time updates, our platform guarantees that allergen and nutrition data is always current and compliant with federal and state regulations.
Managing Devices at Scale
Retailers often manage dozens or even hundreds of labeling devices across departments and locations. Without a unified system, maintaining oversight is nearly impossible.
Our Solution: We provide a single, centralized dashboard for managing all fresh food labeling devices — enabling retailers to monitor product data, update devices, and ensure compliance from one location.
Tare Accuracy: A Revenue and Compliance Risk
Tare weight — the container weight deducted from the total — must be precise. Even small errors can:
- Lead to overcharging or undercharging
- Affect customer trust
- Trigger regulatory scrutiny
Our Solution: Our platform standardizes tare values across all departments and devices, improving transparency, fairness, and profitability.
