Northern Ireland Retail Movement Scheme: Labelling requirements
NI Retail Movement Scheme phase 3: Products that need individual product labels from 1 July 2025
Guide
Last updated: 9 September 2024
From 1 July 2025, additional food products that move through NIRMS must be individually labelled. This includes pet food, unprocessed fruit and vegetables, fish, eggs, honey and composite products, such as pizza.
Composite products are products that contain both products of plant origin and processed products of animal origin (POAO) for human consumption. For example, composite products include:
- lasagne
- pork pies
- scotch eggs
- pepperoni pizza
- ice creams that are a mix of dairy products and plant products not used for flavouring (such as oils)
Phases 1 and 2 do not include composite products. The labelling requirements for composite products come into force in phase 3.
