Nutrition labelling requirements in Egypt

Packaged food sold in Egypt must carry a nutrition declaration under ES 1523/2019 (EOS). This page covers the Egypt - ES 1523/2019 (Arabic/English) format: Bilingual per Egyptian Organization for Standardization. A compliant Egyptian nutrition label declares 5 mandatory nutrients: energy (السعرات), protein (البروتين), fat (الدهون), carbs (الكربوهيدرات) and sodium (الصوديوم). 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 "[object Object]". Arabic is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Egyptian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Egypt automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
