What is a label approval workflow?

A label approval workflow is the controlled path a label takes from draft to approved: someone prepares it, a separate reviewer checks it and approves or requests changes, and only the approved version can be exported or printed. Each decision is recorded with who made it and when.

Why approvals live in FCOS

  • Four eyes on every label

    The person who edits is not the person who approves.

  • Reviewers see the change

    Re-reviews show what changed since the last approval.

  • An audit trail by default

    Every edit, submission and decision is attributed and timestamped.

How a label moves

  1. Step 1

    Draft

    Editors prepare the product, ingredients and nutrition.

  2. Step 2

    Review

    Reviewers approve, or send it back with a comment.

  3. Step 3

    Export

    The approved version unlocks PDF export.

Frequently asked questions

Can the same person edit and approve a label?

By default editors cannot approve. Reviewers and Admins approve, so a second person checks every label.

What happens when an ingredient changes after approval?

The affected labels are flagged for re-review, and any production SOP built on them is flagged for a revision.
