Nutrition labelling requirements in Ukraine

Packaged food sold in Ukraine must carry a nutrition declaration under DSTU 4518:2008. This page covers the Ukraine - DSTU 4518:2008 format: Cyrillic Харчова цінність - diverging from EAEU post-2022. A compliant Ukrainian nutrition label declares 4 mandatory nutrients: енергетична цінність, білки, жири and вуглеводи. 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 "Харчова цінність". Ukrainian is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Ukrainian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Ukraine automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
