Food and drink

Careful translation and checking of food labels, packaging, product information and marketing content, with the right questions asked before anything goes to print

The right words matter when they’re going on the label

Food and drink travel widely. The words that go with them need just as much care as the products themselves.
Atlas Translations helps food producers, drinks brands, ingredient suppliers, wholesalers and industry organisations communicate across languages. From product information and packaging to websites and marketing campaigns, we match each project with linguists who understand its subject and its audience.

Food labelling deserves particular care

A translated food label has to do more than sound natural. Ingredients, allergens, preparation instructions, storage information and product claims must be clear and accurate. A small error can have serious consequences for consumers and for your business.
We’ll ask about the product, the intended market and how the translation will be used. We can work with your approved terminology and arrange independent revision where the project calls for it. We’ll also flag questions rather than guess at wording that could affect meaning.
Some projects call for precise technical language. Others need copy that makes people want to try what’s inside the packet. Often, a food brand needs both. Tell us where the text will appear and who will read it, and we’ll help you choose the right approach.

Experience across the food and drink sector

Over the years, we’ve worked with clients across the sector, including food manufacturers, drinks businesses, ingredient suppliers, bakeries, wholesalers, mushroom producers, tea bag packagers, and trade associations. That range helps us understand the different pressures behind a launch, a packaging update or a move into a new market.
