Nutrition labelling requirements in Bhutan

Packaged food sold in Bhutan must carry a nutrition declaration under Bhutan Food Rules and Regulations 2017 (Codex-aligned). This page covers the Bhutan - BAFRA / BFR 2017 format: English + Dzongkha script per Bhutan Food Rules 2017. A compliant Bhutanese nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy, protein, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars and sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "བཅུད་ཀྱི་གནས་ཚུལ་ / Nutrition Information". English is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Bhutanese nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Bhutan automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
