Nutrition labelling requirements in Bangladesh

Packaged food sold in Bangladesh must carry a nutrition declaration under BSTI Labelling of Pre-packaged Foods Rules 2005 + BFSA Regulations 2017. This page covers the Bangladesh - BSTI Rules 2005 format: Bengali + English bilingual per BSTI/BFSA. A compliant Bangladeshi nutrition label declares 6 mandatory nutrients: শক্তি / energy, আমিষ / protein, চর্বি / fat, শর্করা / carbohydrate, চিনি / sugars and সোডিয়াম / sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml and per serving, both columns required, with energy in kcal, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "পুষ্টিগুণ (Nutrition Information)". Bengali and English must both appear on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Bangladeshi nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Bangladesh automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
