How to Get an FDA-Compliant Nutrition Facts Panel

11 Dec How to Get an FDA-Compliant Nutrition Facts Panel

Why You Need an FDA-Compliant Nutrition Facts Panel

If you’re launching a food or beverage product, one of the most important steps is creating a Nutrition Facts Panel that meets FDA labeling regulations. A compliant label is legally required for most packaged foods, and errors can lead to costly recalls or enforcement actions.

At United Food Labs, we specialize in Nutrition Facts Panels using ESHA Genesis and lab-verified nutrient analysis.

⭐ What Makes a Nutrition Panel FDA-Compliant?

To pass FDA scrutiny, your label must include:

• Correct serving size (RACC-based)

• Mandatory nutrients (calories, fats, sugars, sodium, etc.)

• Proper formatting (21 CFR Part 101)

• Correct % Daily Values

• Allergen declaration

• Ingredient statement review

• Appropriate claim wording

Many new food entrepreneurs unknowingly violate regulations by using generic online tools or non-standard templates.

⭐ How United Food Labs Creates Your Nutrition Facts Label

1. Recipe Formulation Review

We take your formula or recipe and input it into ESHA Genesis using FDA-approved ingredient databases.

2. Nutrition Calculations & Analysis

We calculate:

• Calories

• Macronutrients

• Vitamins/minerals

• % DV values

• Serving size, household unit, and gram weight

3. Formatting for FDA Compliance

You receive a ready-to-print label:

• Standard, tabular, or simplified format

• Dual-column if required

• Child/toddler formats if applicable

• Claims review (e.g., “low sugar,” “good source of fiber”)

4. Optional Lab Testing

For products requiring verification (high-fat, high-moisture, processed foods), we offer full analytical testing.

⭐ Common Mistakes Food Brands Make

Avoid these costly errors:

• Incorrect serving sizes

• Missing allergens

• Wrong % Daily Values

• Using software not aligned with 21 CFR

• Not verifying ingredient nutrient data

• Using the wrong label format

These mistakes often lead to FDA warning letters or denied retail placement.

• Startups launching a new CPG product

• Beverage brands

• Bakeries & snacks

• Frozen foods

• Condiments

• Pet treats (AAFCO guaranteed analysis available)
