About the Nutrition Label Maker
What is the Nutrition Label Maker?
Packaged food sold in India must show nutrition per 100 g, per serve and %RDA per serve. This nutrition label maker builds that table from your values.
Leave energy at 0 to calculate it from protein, carbohydrate and fat.
How to use the Nutrition Label Maker
- Serving Size (g) (sample: 30)
- Servings per Pack (sample: 10)
- Energy per 100 g (kcal, 0 = calculate) (sample: 0)
- Protein per 100 g (g) (sample: 10)
- Carbohydrate per 100 g (g) (sample: 60)
- Total Sugars per 100 g (g) (sample: 18)
- Added Sugars per 100 g (g) (sample: 15)
- Total Fat per 100 g (g) (sample: 20)
- Saturated Fat per 100 g (g) (sample: 9)
- Trans Fat per 100 g (g) (sample: 0.1)
- Sodium per 100 g (mg) (sample: 450)
- Press Make Nutrition Label (results also refresh as you type). The result card shows the Energy per Serve, along with Energy per 100 g, Energy from protein, carbs and fat (4-4-9), %RDA energy per serve and Salt equivalent per 100 g.
Formula used
Energy = 4 × Protein + 4 × Carbohydrate + 9 × Fat; %RDA = Per serve ÷ Reference × 100
- References = 2,000 kcal energy, 67 g fat, 22 g saturated fat, 2 g trans fat, 50 g added sugar, 2,000 mg sodium
Worked example
These are the sample values already filled in the calculator above, and the result it returns for them:
| Input | Sample value |
|---|---|
| Serving Size (g) | 30 |
| Servings per Pack | 10 |
| Energy per 100 g (kcal, 0 = calculate) | 0 |
| Protein per 100 g (g) | 10 |
| Carbohydrate per 100 g (g) | 60 |
| Total Sugars per 100 g (g) | 18 |
| Added Sugars per 100 g (g) | 15 |
| Total Fat per 100 g (g) | 20 |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Energy per Serve | 138 kcal |
| Energy per 100 g | 460 kcal |
| Energy from protein, carbs and fat (4-4-9) | 460 kcal |
| %RDA energy per serve | 6.9% |
| Salt equivalent per 100 g | 1.13 g |
| Pack size | 300 g |
Tips for using the Nutrition Label Maker
- Get a lab analysis (NABL-accredited) for values printed on packs; calculations are for drafts.
- Salt equals sodium × 2.5.
