8 paragraphs of 21 CFR 101.9 eCFR edition of 2026-09-01

Paragraph	What the regulation says
(12)(i)	(12)(i) Products that are packaged and sold individually and that contain at least 200 percent and up to and including 300 percent of the applicable reference amount must provide an additional column within the Nutrition Facts label that lists the quantitative amounts and percent Daily Values for the entire package, as well as a column listing the quantitative amounts and percent Daily Values for a serving that is less than the entire package (i.e., the serving size derived from the reference amount). The first column would be based on the serving size for the product and the second column would be based on the entire contents of the package.
—	(A) This provision does not apply to products that meet the requirements to use the tabular format in paragraph (j)(13)(ii)(A)(1) of this section or to products that meet the requirements to use the linear format in paragraph (j)(13)(ii)(A)(2) of this section.
—	(B) This provision does not apply to raw fruits, vegetables, and seafood for which voluntary nutrition labeling is provided in the product labeling or advertising or when claims are made about the product.
—	(C) This provision does not apply to products that require further preparation and provide an additional column of nutrition information under paragraph (e) of this section, to products that are commonly consumed in combination with another food and provide an additional column of nutrition information under paragraph (e) of this section, to products that provide an additional column of nutrition information for two or more groups for which RDIs are established (e.g., both infants and children less than 4 years of age), to popcorn products that provide an additional column of nutrition information per 1 cup popped popcorn, or to varied-weight products covered under paragraph (b)(8)(iii) of
(ii)	(ii) When a nutrient content claim or health claim is made on the label of a product that uses a dual column as required in paragraph (b)(2)(i)(D) or (b)(12)(i) of this section, the claim must be followed by a statement that sets forth the basis on which the claim is made, except that the statement is not required for products when the nutrient that is the subject of the claim meets the criteria for the claim based on the reference amount for the product and the entire container or the unit amount. When a nutrient content claim is made, the statement must express that the claim refers to the amount of the nutrient per serving (e.g., “good source of calcium per serving” or “per X [insert
(e)	(e) Nutrition information may be presented for two or more forms of the same food (e.g., both “as purchased” and “as prepared”) or for common combinations of food as provided for in paragraph (h)(4) of this section, for different units (e.g., slices of bread or per 100 grams) as provided for in paragraph (b) of this section, or for two or more groups for which RDIs are established (e.g., both infants through 12 months of age and children 1 through 3 years of age) as shown in paragraph (e)(5) of this section. When such dual labeling is provided, equal prominence shall be given to both sets of values. Information shall be presented in a format consistent with paragraph (d) of this section
(1)	(1) Following the serving size information there shall be two or more column headings accurately describing the amount per serving size of the form of the same food (e.g., “Per 1/4 cup mix” and “Per prepared portion”), the combinations of food, the units, or the RDI groups that are being declared as shown in paragraph (e)(5) of this section.
(2)	(2) The quantitative information by weight as required in paragraph (d)(7)(i) and the information required in paragraph (d)(7)(ii) of this section shall be presented for the form of the product as packaged and for any other form of the product (e.g., “as prepared” or combined with another ingredient as shown in paragraph (e)(5) of this section).

What this page cannot tell you

Quoted text is trimmed for length, so read the source before you rely on a paragraph.
The eCFR is a continuously updated version of the CFR and is not the official legal edition.
Meat and poultry under the Federal Meat Inspection Act or the Poultry Products Inspection Act are labelled under USDA rules, not this section.
Nothing here tells you which paragraph applies to your product.

See the file before you pay

You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Here are 25 rows of the real thing, carrying all 4 of its columns, cut out of the dated copies we sealed ourselves. Nothing in it is made up and nothing in it is tidied up.

Open the 25 rows as a CSVA plain spreadsheet file. It saves to your machine rather than painting itself into a browser tab, and it opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
The same 25 rows as JSONThe same rows again, laid out for reading with code.

What arrives after you pay: a private web page for one named product, carrying the same calculator without the DRAFT stamp, downloads of the vertical, tabular and linear panels as true vector SVG files, and a JSON copy of your recipe and your typed ingredient and allergen text — within 15 minutes of payment.

What you would be paying for: $49 once, for one product. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel and no subscription behind it. You get a private web page for the product name you give at checkout, carrying the same calculator without the DRAFT stamp, and downloads of the Nutrition Facts panel as true vector SVG files in the vertical, tabular and linear formats, plus a JSON copy of your recipe and the ingredient and allergen text you typed. The numbers come from USDA FoodData Central, which is a public database of generic foods, not a laboratory analysis of your finished product; 21 CFR 101.9(g) describes compliance testing on a composite of 12 units and this is not that. Added sugars is a figure you supply. The ingredient statement and the allergen line are typed by you and are never generated. Regulation text is quoted from the eCFR, which is not the official legal edition of the CFR, and it may lag. Nothing we deliver says whether your label or your business is compliant, or whether an exemption applies — that is yours and your advisers' to decide. Meat and poultry labelling sits with USDA FSIS, not with 21 CFR 101. Print sizes must be checked against the printed proof. Refund on request within 14 days. There is no pay button on this page yet. The private page is delivered within 15 minutes of payment. Still not here after 15 minutes? Reply to your Stripe receipt.

These 25 rows are a slice of the file, not the whole of it. What we cannot show you here is how far back it goes: that is the part you are paying for.
