Nutrition labelling requirements in Laos

Packaged food sold in Laos must carry a nutrition declaration under Law on Food No. 04/NA (2013) - FDD MOH / Codex-aligned. This page covers the Laos - FDD MOH (Law on Food 2013) format: Lao Codex baseline via Food and Drug Department. A compliant Lao 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 both kcal and kJ, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "Nutrition Information". Lao is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Lao nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Laos automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
