Nutrition labelling requirements in Serbia
Packaged food sold in Serbia must carry a nutrition declaration under Pravilnik o deklarisanju, označavanju i reklamiranju hrane (Sl. glasnik RS 19/2017). This page covers the Serbia - Pravilnik o deklarisanju hrane format: Serbian transposition of EU 1169/2011. A compliant Serbian nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy, fat, of which saturates, carbohydrate, of which sugars, protein and salt. 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 "Nutrition Declaration". Serbian is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NutritionFactLabel builds a print-ready Serbian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Serbia automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
Official regulation
Key facts
Serbia food labelling requirements under the Rulebook
Serbia's food information rules are in the Rulebook on declaration, labelling and advertising of food (Pravilnik o deklarisanju, označavanju i reklamiranju hrane), first published in Službeni glasnik RS No. 19/2017 and amended several times, most recently in 2026. It is in force and closely mirrors the EU's Regulation 1169/2011, although it is Serbian law in its own right.
Under Article 8, these are mandatory on prepacked food where they apply:
- name of the food, ingredients and allergens;
- quantity of certain ingredients, net quantity and durability date;
- special storage or use conditions and instructions for use where needed;
- name and address of the food business operator registered in Serbia under whose name the food is sold;
- country of origin where the Rulebook requires it;
- alcoholic strength above 1.2% by volume;
- the nutrition declaration and the lot number; and
- quality class where specific rules require it.
Information must be accurate, clear and not misleading about the food's nature, composition, quantity, origin or production method.

The Serbian nutrition declaration
A nutrition declaration is mandatory for prepacked food, unless the Rulebook or a specific rule exempts it. Under Article 31 it shows energy and the amounts of fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt.
Values are given per 100 g or 100 ml under Article 34, which is mandatory, and may also be given per portion if the portion and number of portions are stated. The information is normally a table in one field of vision, or a line where space is short; monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, polyols, starch, fibre and qualifying vitamins and minerals may be added.
Dietary supplements and natural mineral, spring and table waters are outside these nutrition rules, and the foods listed in Annex 4 are exempt.

Serbian language and script on food labels
Under Article 5, food sold in Serbia must carry the required information in Serbian, which is mandatory. Other languages may be added. The information must be easy to understand, visible, legible, not easily erased, and not covered by other text or images.
The Rulebook requires the Serbian language but does not say whether Cyrillic or Latin script must be used, so either script meets the labelling rule.
Required information can be printed on the pack or on a label attached to it.
Imported food and who regulates labelling
Imported food must meet the same Serbian-language rules. Under Article 6, the operator under whose name the food is sold is responsible for the information; if that operator is not registered in Serbia, the importer is responsible. An attached Serbian label is an accepted way to comply, but a foreign-language-only retail label is not.
The Rulebook was issued by the minister responsible for agriculture under the Food Safety Law (Zakon o bezbednosti hrane). Responsibilities are shared between the agriculture and health ministries depending on the type of food and stage of the food chain, and health rules govern areas such as nutrition and health claims.
A 2026 amendment (Službeni glasnik RS No. 21/2026) added provisions that applied from 1 July 2026, with transitional rules for food packed and labelled before then.
