Nutrition labelling requirements in Zimbabwe

Packaged food sold in Zimbabwe must carry a nutrition declaration under SAZS 693 + SI 265/2002 (SAZ / MoHCC). This page covers the Zimbabwe - SAZS 693 + SI 265/2002 format: English per SAZ / MoHCC; R146-style TNI kJ + glycaemic carbs. A compliant Zimbabwean nutrition label declares 8 mandatory nutrients: energy, protein, total fat, of which saturated, glycaemic carbohydrates, of which total sugar, dietary fibre and total sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml and per serving, both columns required, with energy in both kJ and kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "Typical Nutritional Information". English is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Zimbabwean nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Zimbabwe automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
