A pass here is not a complete label check — what is not covered

This is one instrument. An Indian retail pack carries obligations under others too, and none of these is checked here:

FSS (Packaging) Regulations, 2018

A pack can pass every check on this page and still be non-compliant, because those instruments were never consulted. Have a regulatory consultant or your printer confirm them before the run.

Which rules govern this pack?

What this can and cannot judge

Presence and wording are judged from the text you paste. Anything geometric — character heights, logo size, placement, contrast — cannot be judged from text and is reported as needing artwork measurement, never as met.

Upload the label instead of typing it

PDF, PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF, TIFF or .txt — up to 50 MB with a live text layer, 20 MB if the words have to be read off the picture, which every TIFF is (converted to PNG first, since Anthropic’s API has no TIFF format of its own). Machine-read fields are marked and never reported as met. The file is stored under your own account in Supabase Storage for the length of the read and deleted afterwards; if it has no live text layer, a picture of each page is also sent to Anthropic’s API to be transcribed. Nowhere else.

About this pack — 2 statements unanswered

Each unanswered statement leaves findings only a person can settle. Answering here is the same as answering in the form — a suggestion is applied only when you click it.

Is this product imported?Settles: whether the importer declarations and country of origin are required.
Is this a Food for Special Dietary Use or Special Medical Purpose?Settles: two nutraceutical particulars are withdrawn for FSDU/FSMP packs.

From your artwork checklist (optional — fill what you know)

The rows no regulation states. Fill any of them and Dolly compares what you declared against what the file — or a packed sample — actually carries. None of it changes a finding above.

Which checklist sheetDecides which rows the checklist section asks about. It reaches the rules engine at no point.

Three of these belong to the product rather than to one carton. Save them once on products and they fill in here automatically, so the same facts are not retyped — and mistyped — every week.

Trademark beside the brand nameMfg. & Exp. date formatChecked against a packed sample, not the artwork — the dates are overprinted at packing, so the file carries the captions and not the values.Shelf life (months)Measured against the manufacture and expiry dates on a packed sample. Both the usual expiry conventions are accepted.Artwork codeSupersede number

Checking against the Mono carton sheet of your artwork checklist.

Packed sample (optional)

Batch number and dates are overprinted at packing, so the artwork cannot show them. Add a photo of a packed unit and the overprint findings will quote what it reads. The photo is machine-read under your account: it is sent to Anthropic’s API to be transcribed, and it is not stored — not in Storage, not against the check.

Product name (optional, but worth it)Name it the same way each time you check this product, and the next check automatically shows what changed since the last one — no separate compare step.Market (optional)Which market this particular carton is for. Check the same product for two markets and Dolly will show you where the wording drifted between them — the same sentence retyped differently is the thing nobody catches, because nobody ever sees the cartons side by side. It changes no finding on this page. Every label rule held here is Indian, so a comparison shows what differs, never whether a foreign market is satisfied.

Is this the label for a formulation you have checked?

Records which formulation this carton is the label for. It does not compare stated doses, and no finding above is affected by the link — a separate, uncited comparison of which ingredients are present on each side may appear further down the report.

Is this Food for Special Dietary Use or Food for Special Medical Purpose?These two categories are excused from “NOT FOR MEDICINAL USE” and from the varied-diet statement by the 2022 nutraceutical regulations. Left unstated, both are reported as unresolved rather than required.Are the characters blown, formed, moulded, embossed or perforated?Legal Metrology Rule 7(2) and 7(3) hold a raised declaration to the raised column of Table-I, which is higher than the printed one at every pack size. This is read as “printed” unless you say otherwise, so a height that only just passes should be confirmed here before printing.Is this an imported food?Regulations 5(11) and 5(12) apply to imported foods only. Left unstated, those requirements are reported as unresolved rather than skipped.
