Compliance issues cost the most when you find them late

After print. After import. During a retailer listing review. By then, the fix means redesign, re-translation, relabelling, or a launch delay.

Before the printer

Catch risks before print, redesign, re-translation or a retailer delay.

Founder story

Built from real food & drink launch pain

RangeClear was created by food and drink entrepreneurs who ran into the same problem again and again.

Every new brand, SKU or market launch triggered the same questions: is the label compliant, are the claims allowed, are the right languages included, and will a retailer or regulator flag the product after artwork has already been approved?

Traditionally, the only way to get confidence was a manual consultant review. That can be valuable, but it is expensive and hard to scale across many products, countries and artwork changes.

RangeClear gives teams a faster first compliance layer: upload your artwork, select your markets and receive a structured report with blockers, risks, suggested fixes, evidence and legal basis.

"Built by food and drink entrepreneurs, for teams bringing products to market."

How it works

Four steps, one report. No back-and-forth emails with consultants.

  1. 01

    Upload

    Artwork, packshot, label image, ingredients, nutrition table or product data.

  2. 02

    Select markets

    Choose the countries where the product will be sold.

  3. 03

    Run structured checks

    AI extracts information. The rule engine checks market-specific requirements.

  4. 04

    Review the report

    See blockers, risks, suggested fixes, legal basis and clearance status.

Example: one matcha drink checked for NL, BE and DE can produce different clearance results per country, with different warnings, languages and claim rules.

How the engine works

AI assists. Rules decide.

We use AI to read your artwork, text, layout, claims, allergens, nutrition values. The pass/fail judgement is made by a structured rule engine, not a language model. Every finding points back to a specific rule and a public legal source.

Traceable decisions

Every finding cites the rule it triggered, its legal basis and the rule version at check time.

What RangeClear helps check

The information that most often blocks or delays food and drink launches: label basics, claims, allergens, language, product data and market-specific requirements.

RangeClear is a decision-support tool. High-risk products and legal edge cases should still be reviewed by a qualified food law or regulatory expert.

FAQ

What counts as a clearance check?+

One product or SKU, one label or artwork version and one structured compliance report for your selected market scope.

What if I only make a small correction?+

Minor revisions within 30 days are included on Growth and above. Starter users can purchase an extra check if needed.

Can I check multiple countries?+

Yes. Each plan includes a different market scope. Larger multi-market checks may use additional clearance credits.

Can supermarket buyers run a quick check on a new product?+

Yes. Category managers and buyers can upload a label or artwork from a new brand or SKU and get a structured pre-listing check before agreeing to put it on the shelf.

Is RangeClear legal advice?+

No. RangeClear is a decision-support tool and does not replace review by a qualified food law or regulatory expert.
