Nutrition labelling requirements in Nepal

Packaged food sold in Nepal must carry a nutrition declaration under Food Regulations 1970 + DFTQC Labelling Guidance (Codex-aligned). This page covers the Nepal - DFTQC (Codex-aligned) format: Nepali (Devanagari) + English per Food Regulations 1970. A compliant Nepali nutrition label declares 6 mandatory nutrients: शक्ति / energy, प्रोटिन / protein, बोसो / fat, कार्बोहाइड्रेट / carbohydrate, चिनी / sugars and सोडियम / sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "पोषण जानकारी / Nutrition Information". Nepali and English must both appear on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Nepali nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Nepal automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
