Nutrition labelling requirements in Lebanon

Packaged food sold in Lebanon must carry a nutrition declaration under NL 240 (LIBNOR) - Décret 2600/2009. This page covers the Lebanon - NL 240 (AR/FR/EN) format: Trilingual per LIBNOR / Décret 2600/2009. A compliant Lebanese nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy (الطاقة / énergie), protein (البروتين / protéines), fat (الدهون / matières grasses), saturated fat (الدهون المشبعة / dont saturées), carbohydrate (الكربوهيدرات / glucides), sugars (السكريات / dont sucres) and sodium (الصوديوم). Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml and per serving, both columns required, with energy in both kcal and kJ, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "[object Object]". Arabic is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Lebanese nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Lebanon automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
