The details that fail an FDA review

Most rejected labels are not wrong about the food. They are wrong about the formatting rules that sit underneath it.

2016 format

The current panel: enlarged calorie figure, added sugars line, and updated Daily Values. The pre-2016 layout is no longer compliant.

21 CFR 101.9 rounding

Each nutrient has its own increment and its own threshold for declaring zero. Nutrifax applies them per nutrient. See US serving size and rounding.

Reference amounts

Serving size comes from the RACC for your food category, not from how you happen to portion it. Getting this wrong shifts every number on the panel.

FAQ

Questions about FDA labels

Is the FDA nutrition label generator free?

Yes. As an FDA nutrition facts label generator it is free to use: build a recipe, generate a standard FDA Nutrition Facts panel, and export print, PDF or PNG at no cost.

Which FDA label format does it produce?

The US-standard vertical Nutrition Facts panel in the 2016 format — the one with the enlarged calorie figure and the added sugars line. Rounding follows 21 CFR 101.9.

Do I need a lab test to put a Nutrition Facts panel on my product?

Not necessarily. FDA accepts nutrient values derived from a reliable database of food composition, which is how database-calculated labels are produced. Lab analysis is one route, not the only one. Check your product against current FDA guidance.

What food data are the numbers based on?

USDA FoodData Central, including SR Legacy and Foundation Foods. Every value traces back to a source food, and the audit report shows that trace ingredient by ingredient.

Does the small business exemption apply to me?

It may. FDA exempts some low-volume producers from mandatory nutrition labelling, but the thresholds are specific and making a nutrient content claim voids the exemption. Many small producers label voluntarily because retailers ask for it. See when a label is required in the US.

Is this a free FDA label generator?

Yes. As an FDA label generator it costs nothing to use: build the recipe, generate the panel, and export print, PDF or PNG. It also works as a nutrition facts label maker for a whole product line, since each recipe is saved and can be regenerated when a formulation changes.

Can I build a nutrition facts label with ingredients I enter myself?

Yes. Add ingredients one at a time from a searchable database of over 8,200 USDA-matched foods, or paste a whole recipe and let Nutrifax do the matching. Both routes produce the same nutrition facts label.
