Nutrition labelling requirements in Colombia

Packaged food sold in Colombia must carry a nutrition declaration under Resolución 2492/2022 + Resolución 810/2021. This page covers the Colombia - Res. 2492/2022 (EXCESO) format: 3 octagons distinguishing ADDED sugars per PAHO NPM. A compliant Colombian nutrition label declares 8 mandatory nutrients: energía, proteína, carbohidratos, azúcares totales, azúcares añadidos, grasa total, grasa saturada and sodio. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml and per serving, both columns required, with energy in kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The scheme itself uses 2 colour bands, and is applied on pack. The panel is headed "Información Nutricional". Spanish is required on pack. Front-of-pack warnings apply. The required scheme is black octagon stop sign. NFL builds a print-ready Colombian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Colombia automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
