Nutrition labelling requirements in Mauritius

Packaged food sold in Mauritius must carry a nutrition declaration under Food Regulations 1999 (GN 173/1999) - MSB. This page covers the Mauritius - Food Regulations 1999 format: English/French Codex baseline via MSB. A compliant Mauritian 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 / Valeurs Nutritionnelles". English is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Mauritian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Mauritius automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
