Nutrition labelling requirements in Belize

Packaged food sold in Belize must carry a nutrition declaration under BAHA Food Safety Regs. + CARICOM CRS 5:2010 (Codex-aligned). This page covers the Belize - BAHA + CARICOM CRS 5:2010 format: English Codex baseline via BAHA + Bureau of Standards. A compliant Belizean nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy, protein, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, total sugars and sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "Nutrition Information". English is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. Belize adopts CRS 5:2010 rather than writing its own labelling text, so a label built to that standard travels across every market that adopted it. NFL builds a print-ready Belizean nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Belize automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
