Nutrition labelling requirements in Trinidad and Tobago

Packaged food sold in Trinidad and Tobago must carry a nutrition declaration under CRS 5:2010 (adopted by TTBS) - Labelling of pre-packaged foods. This page covers the Trinidad & Tobago - TTBS / CRS 5:2010 format: CARICOM Regional Standard via Trinidad & Tobago Bureau of Standards. A compliant Trinidad and Tobago nutrition label declares 9 mandatory nutrients: energy, protein, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, carbohydrate, sugars, dietary fibre and sodium. 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 panel is headed "Nutrition Information". English is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. Trinidad and Tobago 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 Trinidad and Tobago nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Trinidad and Tobago automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
