Labelling food products
Nutrition labelling
Guide
You must provide a mandatory nutrition declaration for most prepacked foods. This is commonly known as 'back of pack' nutrition labelling. You must give the declaration in the following order:
- energy
- fat
- saturates
- carbohydrate
- sugars
- protein
- salt
Read technical guidance on nutritional labelling and Food Standards Agency (FSA) guidance on food nutrition labelling.
Supplementary nutrients
You may also include certain additional 'supplementary' nutrients in the nutrition declaration. You may only include the following additional nutrients:
- monounsaturated fat
- polyunsaturated fat
- polyols
- starch
- fibre
- certain vitamins or minerals present in significant amounts as outlined in relevant regulations
In Northern Ireland, EU food law continues to apply as specified in the Northern Ireland Protocol. Food and feed products produced in NI or placed on the NI market need to comply with EU food law.
