What You Need to Know
Nutritional labeling is mandatory on most packaged food products under FSS (P&L) Regulations 2011. Products must display energy (kcal), protein, carbohydrate, total sugars, added sugars, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, and sodium per serving and per 100g/ml.
TaxClue coordinates lab testing at NABL/FSSAI-recognized laboratories, calculates per-serving values, designs the nutritional information panel, and ensures full compliance with FSSAI labeling requirements.
