Nutrition labelling requirements in Morocco

Packaged food sold in Morocco must carry a nutrition declaration under Décret n° 2-12-389 (2013) - Étiquetage des produits alimentaires. This page covers the Morocco - ONSSA Décret 2-12-389 format: Arabic (RTL) + French per ONSSA; salt not sodium, kJ + kcal. A compliant Moroccan nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: الطاقة / énergie, الدهون / matières grasses, الأحماض المشبعة / dont saturées, الكربوهيدرات / glucides, السكريات / dont sucres, البروتينات / protéines and الملح / sel. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in both kcal and kJ, and salt rather than sodium. 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 Moroccan nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Morocco automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
