Nutrition labelling requirements in Rwanda

Packaged food sold in Rwanda must carry a nutrition declaration under RS EAS 38 (Labelling of pre-packaged foods) - RSB. This page covers the Rwanda - RSB (RS EAS 38) format: East African Standard labelling via Rwanda Standards Board. A compliant Rwandan EAS 38 nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy, protein, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, total sugars and sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in both kcal and kJ, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "Nutrition Information". English is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. Rwanda adopts EAS 38 rather than writing its own labelling text, so a label built to that standard travels across every market that adopted it. NFL builds a print-ready Rwandan EAS 38 nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Rwanda automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
