Nutrition labelling requirements in the Maldives

Packaged food sold in the Maldives must carry a nutrition declaration under MFDA Food Labelling Regulation 2019/R-1010 (Codex-aligned). This page covers the Maldives - MFDA 2019/R-1010 format: Dhivehi (Thaana, RTL) + English per Food Act 4/2019. A compliant Maldivian nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: ހަކަތަ / energy, ޕްރޮޓީން / protein, ފެޓް / fat, ސެޗުރޭޓަޑް ފެޓް / sat. fat, ކާބޯހައިޑްރޭޓް / carbohydrate, ހަކުރު / sugars and ސޯޑިއަމް / sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "ކާނާގެ މައުލޫމާތު / Nutrition Information". Dhivehi and English must both appear on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Maldivian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for the Maldives automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
