Nutrition facts label generator
To make an FDA nutrition label, enter your serving size and the nutrient values from your lab report or recipe analysis. The generator rounds every value and works out % Daily Values per 21 CFR 101.9, in standard, tabular, linear or dual-column layout.
Free, instant, no email required.

How the rounding works
The label shows rounded amounts. The generator applies these rules for you.
| Nutrient | Rule |
|---|---|
| Calories | Under 5 shows 0. Up to 50, nearest 5. Above 50, nearest 10. |
| Fats | Under 0.5g shows 0. Under 5g, nearest 0.5g. 5g and up, nearest 1g. |
| Cholesterol | Under 2mg shows 0. 2 to 5mg shows “<5mg”. Above 5mg, nearest 5mg. |
| Sodium | Under 5mg shows 0. 5 to 140mg, nearest 5mg. Above 140mg, nearest 10mg. |
| Carbs, fiber, sugars, protein | Under 0.5g shows 0. Under 1g shows “<1g”. Otherwise nearest 1g. |
| Vitamin and mineral %DV | Under 2% shows 0. Up to 10%, nearest 2%. Up to 50%, nearest 5%. Above, nearest 10%. |
| Servings per container | Nearest whole number, or nearest 0.5 between 2 and 5. Rounded counts get “About”. |
What goes on a Nutrition Facts label
The panel always runs in the same order, top to bottom. Shoppers read it in about the time it takes to pick up the pack, so the order is fixed by FDA.
- Servings. Servings per container and the serving size, in household and metric units.
- Calories. The largest number on the panel, per serving.
- Nutrients to watch. Fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, sugars and protein, with % Daily Value where one exists.
- Vitamins and minerals. Vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium are required. Others, like vitamin C or magnesium, go on when you fortify or make a claim.
- Footnote. The standard line explaining % Daily Value and the 2,000 calorie reference.

Frequently asked questions
Is this label FDA compliant?
This tool makes a draft Nutrition Facts panel for general adult foods, using rounding rules from 21 CFR 101.9. It does not certify compliance or cover every labeling exception. Serving sizes, nutrient data, claims and final print dimensions need review before packaging goes to print.
Which label formats does this make?
Standard vertical, tabular, linear and dual column. Tabular is for short, wide panels, linear for very small packs, and dual column shows per serving and per container side by side. Each one also has a simplified version for products with zero or near-zero amounts of 8 or more nutrients.
Can I enter values per 100 g instead of per serving?
Yes. Switch “Values are per” to 100 g (or 100 mL), add your serving weight, and the generator converts every value to the serving before it rounds.
Can I add other vitamins and minerals?
Yes. Vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium are always on the label. Add any of the other 23 vitamins and minerals, plus polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat, soluble and insoluble fiber and sugar alcohol, from the add menu. Each one uses its FDA Daily Value.
What is the difference between total sugars and added sugars?
Total sugars counts all sugar in the serving, including sugar that occurs naturally in fruit or milk. Added sugars counts sugar added during processing, plus syrups and honey. Only added sugars gets a % Daily Value, based on 50g.
Do I need lab testing to make a label?
FDA does not require a specific method. Brands use lab analysis or nutrient database calculations, and the brand is responsible for the numbers being accurate.
Can I make a Supplement Facts panel here?
No. Dietary supplements use a different panel, Supplement Facts, under 21 CFR 101.36.
How do I export the label?
