Overview of the different labeling and marking requirements, including any restrictive advertising or labeling practices and where to get more information.
Last Published: 6/25/2019

According to the Law on Food, all food products destined for end consumers must have labels in the Albanian language and include the name of the product; ingredients; quantity of special ingredients or categories of ingredients; net quantity/weight/volume; expiration date; manner of storage; pertinent consumer warnings; and importer’s full address. The label in Albanian is not a requirement for the exporter, but rather for the Albanian importing company, which should place labels before the product enters the market. Sticker labels in Albanian are acceptable when labels are in a foreign language.

Labeling of drugs is regulated separately. For more information, please visit the National Center of Drugs and Medical Equipment.

Directions on the labeling for non-food products in Albanian are less specific than food products.
