Nutrition labelling requirements in Norway and Iceland

Packaged food sold in Norway and Iceland must carry a nutrition declaration under Matinformasjonsforskriften (EEA-implemented 1169/2011). This page covers the Norway / Iceland - EEA Næringsinnhold format: EU 1169/2011 via EEA, Nordic Keyhole optional. A compliant Norwegian nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energi / energy, fett, hvorav mettede fettsyrer, karbohydrat, hvorav sukkerarter, protein and salt. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in both kJ and kcal, and salt rather than sodium. The panel is headed "Næringsinnhold". Norwegian is required on pack. The scheme is voluntary, so it is not required on pack. NFL builds a print-ready Norwegian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Norway and Iceland automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
