This standard applies to nutrition labels of prepackaged foods directly provided to consumers. Prepackaged foods and food storage and transportation packages that are not directly provided to consumers, if marked with nutrition labels, shall be implemented in accordance with this standard.2 Terms and definitions2.1 Nutrition label Description and explanation of food nutrition information and characteristics provided to consumers on prepackaged food labels, including nutrition information table, nutrition claims, nutrition function claims and other supplementary information. Nutrition label is an integral part of prepackaged food labels. 2.2 Nutrition information table A normative table marked with the name, content, percentage of nutrient reference values of food energy and nutrients. 2.3 Energy The heat generated by protein, fat, carbohydrate components in food during human metabolism. The calculation of energy in food is based on the product and sum of the following energy supply component marked values and the corresponding energy conversion coefficients. The energy conversion coefficients of energy supply components are (kJ/g). protein 17, fat 37, carbohydrate 17. When dietary fiber content is marked, its energy is calculated using 8 kJ/g as the conversion coefficient. 2.4 Nutrients Substances in food that have specific physiological functions and can maintain the growth, development, activity, reproduction, normal metabolism of the body, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, etc. 2.5 Nutrition elements Nutrients and other food ingredients that are beneficial to physiological functions in food. 2.6 Nutrient reference value (NRV) Reference value used specifically for comparing the energy and nutrient content levels of foods in nutrition labels. Nutrient reference values are formulated in accordance with the "Dietary Nutrient Reference Intake for Chinese Residents", which are applicable to the nutrition labels of pre-packaged foods consumed by people over 36 months old ( >36 months old). 2.7 Nutritional claims Description and explanation of the nutritional characteristics of food. Nutritional claims include content claims and comparative claims. 2.7.1 Content claims 2.8 Nutrient effect claim Description and explanation of the role of a nutrient in maintaining normal growth, development, physiological function of the human body. 2.9 Edible part The edible part of a food, that is, the remaining part after deducting the inedible part from the net content of the pre-packaged food. 2.10 Serving reference value When the nutrition label indicates the nutrition composition table by "serving", the recommended reference mass or volume of each serving of food (measured in edible part). 2.11 Rounding interval The minimum numerical unit of rounding value.3 Basic requirements3.1 Pre-packaged foods shall be identified with nutrition labels. Any nutrition information and characteristic descriptions labeled shall be true and objective. False information shall not be labeled; the nutritional effect or other effects of the product shall not be exaggerated. 3.2 Pre-packaged food nutrition labels shall use standardized Chinese characters. If minority languages, foreign languages, etc. are used at the same time, their contents shall be consistent with the meaning of Chinese characters, meanwhile the character height shall not be greater than that of Chinese characters. 3.3 The nutrition information table shall be clear, eye-catching, durable; it shall be labeled in the form of a "block table" (except in special cases), vertical to the baseline of the package or label, with the table header "Nutrition Information Table". 3.4 The energy and nutrient content in the nutrition information table shall be labeled as specific values per 100 grams (g) and/or per 100 milliliters (mL) and/or per edible part; when labeled as per serving, the mass or volume of each serving of food shall be indicated on the same page. 3.5 The nutrition label shall comply with the format specifications of Appendix B; food companies may choose according to factors such as the nutritional characteristics of the food, the size and shape of the packaging area, etc. 3.6 The nutrition label shall be marked on the packaging of the smallest sales unit provided to consumers.4 Mandatory labeling content4.1 The mandatory content of the nutrition label of prepackaged food includes the content of energy, protein, fat, saturated fat (or saturated fatty acid), carbohydrates, sugar and sodium and their percentage of the nutrient reference value. 4.2 When a nutrition claim or a nutrient effect claim is made for a nutrient other than 4.1, the content of the nutrient and its percentage of the nutrient reference value shall be indicated in the nutrition table. 4.3 When a prepackaged food uses a nutrient fortifier, the content of the fortified nutrient and its percentage of the nutrient reference value shall be indicated in the nutrition table. 4.4 When hydrogenated and/or partially hydrogenated fats are used in the production process of food or its ingredients, the content of trans fatty acids shall be indicated in the nutrition table. 4.5 Prepackaged food shall be marked with "Children and adolescents shall avoid excessive intake of salt, oil, sugar" below the nutrition table.5 Optional labeling content5.1 Nutritional ingredients It is encouraged to label vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, calcium, iron, zinc, and other ingredients listed in Table 1 in the nutrition information table. 5.3 Nutrient effect claim When the labeled value of energy or a certain nutrient content meets the requirements and conditions of nutrition claim, one or more of the corresponding standard terms for effect claim in Appendix D can be used. 5.4 Serving size labeling When the energy and nutrient content of pre-packaged food is labeled by "serving", the mass or volume of each serving of food can be labeled by category, with reference to the food serving reference value recommended in Appendix E. 5.5 Other supplementary information The following information can be supplemented by graphics, text, etc.6 Labeling and expression of energy and nutrients6.1 The name and order, expression unit, rounding interval, "0" limit value of energy and nutrients in the Nutrition composition table shall comply with the provisions of Table 1.When a nutrient is not labeled, it shall be moved up in sequence. 6.2 When labeling nutrients other than 4.1, the mandatory labeling content of 4.1 shall be more eye-catching by increasing the font size, changing the font (such as italic, bold, black) or adjusting the color (text or background color). 6.4 The determination of the labeled value of the nutrient content can be obtained by measuring using the currently valid standard method, or by calculating it based on the composition of the formula raw materials using the "Chinese Food Composition Table" and other reliable data from other sources. 6.5 When the energy or certain nutrient content in every 100 g or 100 mL of food is less than or equal to the "0" limit value specified in Table 1, it shall be labeled as "0". When "per serving" is used to label the nutrient content, the same judgment is made. 6.6 The character height of the nutrition claim and the nutrient effect claim shall not exceed the maximum character height of the food name. 6.7 During the shelf life of the product, the allowable error between the actual measured or calculated value of the energy and nutrient content in the food and the labeled value shall comply with the provisions of Table 2.7 Prepackaged foods exempted from mandatory nutrition labelingThe following prepackaged foods are exempted from mandatory labeling.8 OthersThe scope and method of nutrition labels for special dietary foods shall be implemented in accordance with GB 13432.Appendix ANutrient reference values (NRV) for nutrition labels and use method A.1 Nutrient reference values (NRV) for nutrition labels The energy and 31 nutrient reference values specified are shown in Table A.1. A.2 Purpose and method of use The purpose of use is to describe the reference value of the energy or nutrient content level in food; it can be used as a comparison benchmark for nutrition claims. The method of use is to calculate the percentage of energy or nutrient content in food to the nutrient reference value, calculated as "nutrient reference value %" or "NRV%". A.3 Calculation of nutrient reference value percentage A.3.1 Calculation The calculation of the nutrient reference value percentage is shown in formula (A.1).Appendix BNutrition label format specification B.1 This Appendix specifies the format of the nutrition label for prepackaged foods. B.2 Any of the following formats shall be selected for the design and production of nutrition labels. B.3 On the basis of ensuring compliance with basic format requirements and ensuring that consumers are not misled, appropriate adjustments can be made during layout design, including but not limited to. adjusting text format (left alignment, centering, etc.), background and table colors, or appropriately increasing or decreasing inner frame lines due to aesthetic requirements or for the convenience of consumer observation. B.5 The content of energy and nutrients is labeled by specific numerical values; its nutrient reference value % or NRV% can be labeled by "×" or "×%"; for nutrients without specified nutrient reference value (NRV), its nutrient reference value % or NRV% can be blank, or can be expressed by horizontal or slash. B.6 When the word "or" appears in the example, it can choose to mark one or both, such as "kilojoule kJ", "kilojoule/kJ", "kilojoule (kJ)". B.7 The nutrient reference value of the energy and nutrients listed can also be supplemented under the Nutrition composition table.Appendix CRequirements, conditions, synonyms for energy and nutrient content claims and comparative claims C.1 Table C.1 specifies the requirements and restrictive conditions for energy and nutrient content claims of prepackaged foods. ......Source: Above contents are excerpted from the full-copy PDF -- translated/reviewed by: www.ChineseStandard.net / Wayne Zheng et al.
