Nutrition labelling requirements in Cambodia

Packaged food sold in Cambodia must carry a nutrition declaration under Law on the Management of Quality and Safety of Products and Services (2000) - ISC / Codex-aligned. This page covers the Cambodia - ISC / CAMCONTROL format: Khmer Codex baseline per Law on Quality & Safety (2000). A compliant Cambodian nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy, protein, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, total sugars and sodium. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in both kcal and kJ, and sodium rather than salt. The panel is headed "Nutrition Information". Khmer is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NutritionFactLabel builds a print-ready Cambodian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Cambodia automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.

Cambodia food labelling requirements for pre-packaged foods

Two laws set Cambodia's basic food label rules, both in force. The Law on the Management of Quality and Safety of Products and Services requires product information, including ingredients, composition, instructions for use, manufacturing date and expiry date, to be given in Khmer before sale, which is mandatory. The Law on Food Safety requires food businesses to meet packaging and labelling rules and give consumers adequate information.

The Ministry of Commerce's Consumer Protection, Competition and Fraud Repression Directorate-General (CCF) lists origin, ingredients, nutrition and calories, instructions for use and storage as examples of information consumers should receive.

Cambodia nutrition label and nutrition information panel

Under Prakas No. 0059 on Nutrition Information Requirements for the Labelling of Pre-packaged Food Products, which is in force, giving nutrition information is voluntary. Once it is given, the Prakas applies in full.

A declaration must include energy, protein, available carbohydrate (excluding fibre), total fat, saturated fat, sodium and total sugars, plus any nutrient that is the subject of a claim. Values are numerical in metric units, per 100 g for solids or 100 ml for liquids, and may also be per serving if the number of servings is stated.

Vitamins and minerals present at less than 5% of the Nutrient Reference Value per 100 g, 100 ml or serving do not need to be declared.

Cambodia food label language requirements and nutrition claims

Khmer is mandatory for the core information under the product quality law. Under Prakas 0059, any nutrition information must also appear in Khmer, either on the label or on an attached Khmer label.

Nutrition information must not be false or misleading. A nutrient claim, such as "source", "high", "low", "free" or "reduced", makes declaration of that nutrient mandatory and must meet the Prakas conditions. Nutrient-function claims cannot say or imply that a nutrient cures, treats or prevents disease.

Cambodia imported food labelling and regulatory authorities

Imported foods must meet the same food safety and labelling rules. Under the import inspection Prakas, exporting-country certificates are required where the risk system calls for them, and laboratory testing may be ordered.

Non-compliant imports may have to be re-exported, reprocessed or relabelled and re-inspected, or destroyed, at the importer's cost.

CCF, formerly known as CAMCONTROL, is the Ministry of Commerce body for consumer protection and market compliance. The Institute of Standards of Cambodia (ISC) runs the national standards system, and food safety is shared among several competent authorities along the food chain.
