Nutrition labelling requirements in the EU

Packaged food sold in the EU must carry a nutrition declaration under Nutri-Score v2 (2024 revision): France, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Luxembourg (voluntary). This page covers the EU - Nutri-Score ★ (2024 v2) format: Voluntary 5-letter FoP A/B/C/D/E; France/DE/NL/BE/ES/CH/LU adoption. A compliant EU nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy, fat, of which saturates, carbohydrate, of which sugars, protein and salt. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in both kJ and kcal, and salt rather than sodium. The scheme itself uses grades A to B to C to D to E and 5 colour bands, and is applied on pack. The panel is headed "Nutrition Declaration". The scheme is voluntary, so it is not required on pack. NFL builds a print-ready EU nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for the EU automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
