Nutrition labelling
What to consider when putting nutritional information on food labels.
You must provide a mandatory nutrition declaration for most prepacked foods. This is commonly known as 'back of pack' nutrition labelling. You must give the declaration in the following order:
- energy
- fat
- saturates
- carbohydrate
- sugars
- protein
- salt

Supplementary nutrients
You may also include certain additional 'supplementary' nutrients in the nutrition declaration. You may only include the following additional nutrients:
- monounsaturated fat
- polyunsaturated fat
- polyols
- starch
- fibre
- certain vitamins or minerals present in significant amounts as outlined in relevant regulations
Under the Windsor Framework, EU food law, including marketing standards, continues to apply to all food produced in Northern Ireland.
