Printing errors in the food industry

According to the Food Incident Information Announcement Network of the Japan Food Industry Association, 19% of the 814 food-related incidents that occurred in 2015 were best-before date labeling errors.

Furthermore, out of the best-before date printing error incidents, about 80% concerned a wrong best-before date being indicated. Sixteen percent involved cases where the printing was incomplete or missing.

As inkjet printers can automatically update best-before dates and manufacturing dates, using inkjet printers can prevent date printing setting errors, which make up approximately 80% of the best-before date errors.
