Nutrition labelling requirements in Azerbaijan

Packaged food sold in Azerbaijan must carry a nutrition declaration under Law on Food Products (1999) - AFSA / Codex-aligned. This page covers the Azerbaijan - AFSA (Law on Food Products) format: Azerbaijani Codex baseline via Food Safety Agency. A compliant Azerbaijani 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 "Qida dəyəri / Nutrition Information". Azerbaijani is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Azerbaijani nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Azerbaijan automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
