Nutrition labelling requirements in Tonga

Packaged food sold in Tonga must carry a nutrition declaration under Food Act 2014 - MCCTIL / Codex CAC/GL 2-1985 aligned. This page covers the Tonga - MCCTIL Food Act 2014 format: Codex CAC/GL 2-1985 baseline, English mandatory. A compliant Tongan 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". English is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready Tongan nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for Tonga automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.
