Nutrition Facts Label Making Process
FAQ
Yes, you can create your own nutrition declaration, but it must comply with the Retained EU Regulation 1169/2011 (FIC) and the UK Food Information Regulations. Your back-of-pack (BoP) label must list information in a specific order: Energy (both kJ and kcal), Fat, Saturates, Carbohydrate, Sugars, Protein, and Salt. Unlike US labels, all values must be provided per 100g or 100ml to allow for easy product comparison.
Using a professional label maker ensures that your “Salt” calculations (Sodium x 2.5) and energy conversions are accurate and formatted correctly for the UK market.
While the Food Standards Agency (FSA) sets the policy, the actual enforcement and “checking” of labels are carried out by Local Authority Trading Standards and Environmental Health Officers. They do not approve labels before they hit shelves; instead, they conduct market samples and audits. If your labels are found to be inaccurate for instance, if your salt levels are higher than declared you may face a compliance notice, fines, or a request to relabel your stock.
The UK uses a two-tier system for nutritional information:
- Mandatory Back-of-Pack (BoP): A tabular format (or linear if space is tight) providing the “Big 7” nutrients per 100g/ml.
- Voluntary Front-of-Pack (FoP) “Traffic Lights”: While not legally required for all, most major UK retailers demand this color-coded system. It uses Red (High), Amber (Medium), and Green (Low) to highlight Fat, Saturates, Sugars, and Salt, along with the calorie count per portion.
- Reference Intakes (RI): Labels typically include the percentage of an average adult’s “Reference Intake” (based on 2,000 kcal) provided by a serving.
- Salt, not Sodium: You must declare “Salt” on the label. Declaring “Sodium” alone is not compliant in the UK.
Verification in the UK follows a specific process to ensure “due diligence”:
- Per 100g/ml Calculation: All data must first be calculated per 100g or 100ml of the product as sold.
- Ingredient Analysis: Use verified databases (such as CoFID – Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset) to calculate the nutrient profile.
- Traffic Light Logic: If providing front-of-pack labels, you must verify your values against the FSA’s specific thresholds for Red, Amber, and Green.
- Allergen Highlighting: In the UK, the 14 mandatory allergens must be emphasized (usually in bold, italics, or a different color) within the ingredients list itself, rather than in a separate “Contains” box.
- Automatic kJ/kcal Conversion: Ensures your energy values are accurately represented in both units required by UK law.
- Traffic Light Generation: Automatically assigns the correct Red, Amber, or Green colors based on the UK government’s specific nutrient thresholds per 100g.
- Sodium to Salt Calculator: Eliminates manual errors by automatically converting sodium data into the mandatory “Salt” declaration.
- UK Formatting Templates: Provides the exact tabular layout and font size (minimum x-height of 1.2mm) required for UK compliance.
- Allergen Identification: Automatically identifies and bolds the 14 allergens specific to UK/EU regulations (including celery, mustard, and lupin)
