Abstract: Food labeling has been of great importance for the regularization and marketing of food products, playing a fundamental role in communication between products and consumers, with the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) being mainly responsible for its regulation and inspection. The study aimed to analyze the labels of cheeses sold in Frei Martinho-PB, focusing on compliance with Brazilian labeling standards, especially RDCs nº 259/2002, RDC nº 727/2022, nº 429/2020 and IN nº 75/2020. The research involved collecting data through a checklist and photographs of labels between December 2024 and January 2025, in five local commercial establishments, analyzing thirteen cheese labels based on current standards, checking items such as sales denomination, list of ingredients, manufacturing and expiration date, inspection stamp, allergen declaration and nutritional table. The results demonstrated that 100% of the labels presented some type of non-conformity, with emphasis on the absence of the nutritional table and the allergen declaration. Furthermore, many labels do not provide important information such as the inspection seal. Based on the observed deficiencies, a label model was developed to serve as a standard for local producers. However, more rigorous monitoring of labeling standards in the municipality is necessary, in line with educational programs aimed at producers, with the aim of improving the quality of products and ensuring compliance with current legislation.
