Nutrition labelling requirements in Sudan

Packaged food sold in Sudan must carry a nutrition declaration under SDS adopting GSO 9:2013 (SSMO). This page covers the Sudan - SSMO SDS format: Arabic/English per Sudanese Standards & Metrology Org. A compliant Sudanese nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy (السعرات), protein (البروتين), fat (الدهون), saturated fat (الدهون المشبعة), carbohydrate (الكربوهيدرات), sugars (السكريات) and sodium (الصوديوم). Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml and per serving, both columns required, with energy in both kcal and kJ, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "[object Object]". Arabic is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. Sudan adopts GSO 9:2013 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 Sudanese nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Sudan automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
