Nutrition labelling requirements in Switzerland

Packaged food sold in Switzerland must carry a nutrition declaration under LIV 817.022.16 (FSVO / BLV). This page covers the Switzerland - FSVO Nährwerte format: Trilingual DE/FR/IT per LIV 817.022.16. A compliant Swiss nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energie / energy, fett / fat, davon gesättigte fettsäuren, kohlenhydrate, davon zucker, eiweiss / protein and salz. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in both kJ and kcal, and salt rather than sodium. The panel is headed "Nährwerte". German, French and Italian must both appear on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Swiss nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Switzerland automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
