Variety of Label Formats

5

US Standard Nutrition Facts LabelThis is the most common label format. This format is recommended unless there isn’t enough continuous vertical space to do so. If there is not enough space, you may use the side-by-side (split) format and place the footnote to the right of the label.

7

US Tabular Nutrition Facts LabelIf the package does not have enough continuous vertical space or the total available space is less than 40 square inches, you may use the tabular (horizontal) format instead.

8

US Linear Nutrition Facts LabelIf the available labeling space is 40 square inches or less, and the shape cannot accommodate the “side-by-side” or tabular formats, you may use the linear format.

9

US Aggregate Nutrition Facts LabelAn Aggregate Label may be used on the outer label of packages that contain two or more separately packaged foods that are intended to be eaten individually or on packages that are used interchangeably for the same type of food such as a variety or multipack of pies, breakfast cereals, chips, or candy bars. Information for each item is listed in a separate column.

10

US Dual Declaration Nutrition Facts LabelThe Dual Declaration Label is used when the food requires further preparation, such as dry cake mixes, cereal or dry pasta products. One column lists information for the product as packaged and one column for the product as prepared or, in the case of cereal, as commonly eaten.

11

US Child Nutrition Facts LabelUse the Child Nutrition Label format for foods intended for children. Child labels include infant, under the age of 2, and under the age of 4.

label is the listing of each ingredient in descending order of predominance (weight).

that is one of the following foods or is an ingredient that contains protein derived from one of the following:– Egg– Fish (e.g., bass, flounder, or

cod) – Milk– Peanut– Shellfish (e.g. crab, lobster, or

shrimp)– Soybeans– Tree Nuts (e.g., almonds,

pecans, or walnuts)– Wheat

15

Nutrient Content Claims• Nutrient content claims describe the level of a nutrient in the product, using

terms such as free, high, and low, or they compare the level of a nutrient in a food to that of another food, using terms such as more, reduced, and lite.

"We have been using the Genesis R&D program since the early 90s, and I have been extremely happy with it. The layout is very user-friendly and the databases are comprehensive and, with the support program, always up-to-date. The few times that I have needed help, usually due to an error on our end, I have found their technical support folks to be responsive and very helpful. I would highly recommend this program."
