Mexico's warning seals on the pack
Five octagons, a fixed order
NOM-051 requires a black octagon for each nutrient a product has in excess: EXCESO CALORÍAS, EXCESO AZÚCARES, EXCESO GRASAS SATURADAS, EXCESO GRASAS TRANS and EXCESO SODIO, shown in that order with "SECRETARÍA DE SALUD" beneath each.
Two legends that are not octagons
Products with sweeteners carry "CONTIENE EDULCORANTES, NO RECOMENDABLE EN NIÑOS"; products with added caffeine carry "CONTIENE CAFEÍNA EVITAR EN NIÑOS". Any seal, or the sweetener legend, also bars child-directed characters and promotions on the pack.
Size follows the display panel
The minimum size of each seal depends on the area of the principal display surface, set in the standard's Apéndice A. Export the SVG here and scale it to that size in your artwork.
