Translation service for the food industry
Translations for the food industry
SMG Food is our specialised line of translation and interpreting services dedicated exclusively to the agri-food sector and food industry. The expertise of our translators is further enhanced by our collaboration with SMG Meeting, another division within Studio Moretto Group.
Translation services for the food industry
We offer technical translations for labels, packaging and recipes, complying with UNI 15038, ISO 17100 and ISO 27001 standards, for sectors including canned foods, confectionery, baked goods, dairy products and oils.
Translations with real care
To better promote food products in foreign markets, we recommend our advertising translation services. The expertise of our native translators will give your texts distinctive character, making them highly persuasive communication tools. This service, similar to creative writing in a foreign language, has achieved excellent results, especially in translating wine labels and websites for prestigious dairy and cured meat industries, now celebrated examples of international excellence.
Technical terms: our food glossary
Below is a list of some of the terminological glossaries developed to support our translations and recently added to our multilingual Food Glossary. It includes over 12,000 terms related to agriculture and agri-food in more than 20 languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Arabic, Chinese and Japanese.

Fun fact: why we are experts in translating for the food industry
Our expertise in providing translation services for the food industry stems from a fortunate synergy: our group includes SMG Meeting, a well-established international catering services company, which has been active for years in the food preparation and service market under the prominent brands Moretto Catering and Stupor Mundi.
Although our translation offices are separate from our kitchens and production sites, and employ different staff, our translators have developed a deep understanding of the food industry, including its specialised terminology and health-related responsibilities.
Our passion isn’t just driven by the delicious company dinners we offer our linguistic team, nor solely by the fact that many of us, being Italian, have an almost religious devotion to good food. What truly sets us apart is the ease with which our translators can consult with our food industry colleagues whenever they need clarification during translation—especially in such a specialised and intricate field as food. This seamless collaboration enriches our expertise and strengthens our company culture within the food industry. That said, we still believe those company dinners play a vital role in our cultural growth and should certainly continue… Buon appetito!
