Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in kJ, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "营养成分表". ZH-CN is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready China GB 28050 nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for China automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
