Saturates are the saturated fatty acid part of total fat. They must not exceed total fat.

Salt vs sodium

EU salt is sodium multiplied by 2.5. Choose sodium mode only when your source gives sodium in grams.

About the EU Food Label Generator

Creating compliant EU food labels requires strict adherence to Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, which dictates how ingredient lists, allergens, and nutritional values must be presented to consumers. Designed for food manufacturers and packagers, our generator automatically formats the mandatory 14 allergens with proper emphasis and calculates the required kJ/kcal energy declaration for the standardized nutrition table.

How it works

Enter your product name, net quantity, and manufacturer details.

Input the complete ingredient list, ensuring you highlight any of the 14 mandatory EU allergens.

Fill in the nutritional values per 100g or 100ml to generate the standardized nutrition table.

Frequently asked questions

What are the 14 allergens that must be emphasized on EU food labels?

The EU requires emphasis on celery, cereals containing gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, lupin, milk, molluscs, mustard, peanuts, sesame, soybeans, sulphur dioxide and sulphites, and tree nuts.

How should allergens be highlighted in the ingredient list?

Allergens must be emphasized through a typeset that clearly distinguishes them from the rest of the ingredients, typically using bold, italic, or underlined text.

Is a nutritional table mandatory for all food products in the EU?

Yes, a standardized nutritional declaration is mandatory for most pre-packed foods, detailing energy value and the amounts of fat, saturates, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, and salt.

What font size is required for mandatory information?

Mandatory information must be printed with a minimum x-height of 1.2 mm, or 0.9 mm if the largest surface area of the packaging is less than 80 square centimeters.
