New and updated regulations in Ireland, Finland, and Denmark are now included in the solution so you have country coverage for every market you serve. Below, we provide a look at some of the recent regulations that you can manage with an automated workflow in Trace One Regulatory Compliance.

My Queries sends alerts and notifications, at your preset frequency of delivery, to ensure Regulatory Affairs professionals are always up to date on the main topics and markets of interest. Label changes can be managed centrally, as can reviews and approvals for regulatory changes across your company, ensuring everyone is on the same page and launch, deliveries, and customer expectations are not impacted.

“I appreciate the tool is updated on a frequent basis. I don’t have to worry about anything because I know that Trace One will give me all the new legislation shortly after being issued,” said a Trace One Regulatory Compliance user.

Ireland: Public Health Alcohol Labelling Regulations 2023

Last year Ireland became the first country to mandate health warning labels for alcohol for calories, risks of cancer and liver disease, and the dangers of drinking while pregnant. Going into effect by the 22nd of May 2026, the new labeling also offers consumers a website for further information from Ireland’s Health Service Executive.

Trace One Regulatory Compliance lets you proactively manage products affected by Ireland’s changes, without delays. Instead of investing time into tracking down new regulatory laws, news, and requirements, you can rely on alerts and Trace One Regulatory Compliance’s advanced search functions to make the right decisions. By providing data in a structured way, users are able to read results and interact with technical knowledge, without needing a scientific background or knowledge to collect and distill relevant regulatory changes.

Finland

New regulations for genetically modified organisms (GMO), nutrition, and other labelling changes will go into effect for food and beverage manufacturers and retailers doing business in Finland. It’s a full-time job keeping updated on these changes—and deadlines—unless you have an automated solution to manage them. Language barriers to those managing these regulations across markets are also a challenge. With Trace One Regulatory Compliance, you can set up queries to deliver streamlined versions of any changes to get into action—without worrying they’ve been lost in translation.

Trace One Regulatory Compliance provides a number of Finnish regulatory agency outputs as searchable sources for queries. Finnish regulatory changes will be pulled when you add the country into your queries, ensuring risk assessments for that market are included within your workflow. Other EU markets are also covered, so you can plan and adjust your labels in time to meet any deadlines and update quickly for these changes.

Denmark

Denmark is a leading-edge regulator amongst EU countries, with Denmark being an early mover on prohibiting PFAS chemicals in food packaging (Order no. 681 of May 25 ,2020), recently becoming the first country in the world to draft a carbon tax on agriculture, and offering new adjustments to allowable food additives such as Ascorbyl Palmitate. There’s an additional decree for food additives via Order no. 536 (May 28, 2024), regulating the addition of combining substances. Navigating Denmark’s regulatory changes can take days or weeks, depending on your designated regulatory affairs person’s familiarity with these dense documents. Instead, Trace One Regulatory Compliance allows you to run queries for pertinent changes. When they show up in your inbox, you can get them to the right people who can implement them faster. Trace One Regulatory Compliance experts frequently update country-specific regulations, using the relevant information you need, at the cadence you select, to keep you up to date on changes.
