Nutrition labelling requirements in the Dominican Republic

Packaged food sold in the Dominican Republic must carry a nutrition declaration under NORDOM 53 (5ta rev. 2023) - INDOCAL. This page covers the Dominican Republic - NORDOM 53 format: INDOCAL (formerly DIGENOR) - Codex-aligned Spanish label. A compliant Dominican nutrition label declares 9 mandatory nutrients: energía, proteínas, grasa total, grasa saturada, grasa trans, carbohidratos totales, azúcares totales, fibra dietética and sodio. Values are declared per serving as sold, with energy in kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "Información Nutricional". Spanish is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Dominican nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for the Dominican Republic automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
