CARICOM food labelling requirements (CRS 5)
The Caribbean Community labels food to the regional standard CRS 5:2010, live in Jamaica — adopted member by member.
CRS 5:2010, the CARICOM regional standard
CRS 5:2010 is the CROSQ regional labelling standard. Each member state adopts it nationally, so LabelYog cites the destination's own adoption (for Jamaica, JS CRS 5:2010) rather than a foreign rule.
Nutrition and declarations
The nutrition declaration follows the Codex per-100 g model. The label carries the food name, ingredient list, the Codex-based allergen declaration, net quantity and date marking.
Language and live members
Mandatory particulars are in English. Jamaica is live (JS CRS 5:2010, 2017, mandatory); further members light as their national adoption is verified at bureau grade.
