Nutrition labelling requirements in Suriname

Packaged food sold in Suriname must carry a nutrition declaration under Warenwet (implementing decrees) + CARICOM CRS 5:2010. This page covers the Suriname - BOG + CARICOM CRS 5:2010 format: Dutch Codex baseline via Bureau voor Openbare Gezondheidszorg. A compliant Surinamese nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energie, eiwitten, vetten, waarvan verzadigde vetten, koolhydraten, waarvan suikers and natrium. 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 "Voedingswaarde". Dutch is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. Suriname adopts CRS 5:2010 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 Surinamese nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Suriname automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
