Nutrition labelling requirements in Pakistan

Packaged food sold in Pakistan must carry a nutrition declaration under Punjab Pure Food Regulations 2018 + PSQCA PS 1485. This page covers the Pakistan - PFA / PSQCA format: Urdu + English bilingual per Punjab Food Authority + PSQCA PS 1485. A compliant Pakistani nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: توانائی / energy, پروٹین / protein, چکنائی / fat, سیرشدہ چکنائی / sat. fat, نشاستہ / carbohydrate, شکر / sugars and سوڈیم / 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 "غذائی معلومات / Nutrition Information". Urdu and English must both appear on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Pakistani nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Pakistan automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
