Nutrition labelling requirements in Peru

Packaged food sold in Peru must carry a nutrition declaration under Ley 30021 + DS 012-2018-SA. This page covers the Peru - Ley 30021 (ALTO EN warnings) format: Octagons + "CONTIENE GRASAS TRANS" per DS 012-2018-SA. A compliant Peruvian nutrition label declares 8 mandatory nutrients: energía, proteínas, grasas totales, grasas saturadas, grasas trans, hidratos de carbono, azúcares totales and sodio. 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 scheme itself uses 2 colour bands, and is applied on pack. The panel is headed "Información Nutricional". Spanish is required on pack. Front-of-pack warnings apply. The required scheme is black octagon stop sign. NFL builds a print-ready Peruvian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Peru automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
