Nutrition labelling requirements in Moldova

Packaged food sold in Moldova must carry a nutrition declaration under Legea Nr. 279/2017 privind informarea consumatorului cu privire la produsele alimentare. This page covers the Moldova - Legea Nr. 279/2017 format: Moldovan transposition of EU 1169/2011, Romanian. A compliant Moldovan 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 panel is headed "Nutrition Declaration". Romanian is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Moldovan nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Moldova automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
