What this page is11 rows held · newest sealed read 2026-09-08

This page carries 11 product lines out of the 157 in the whole table.
The reference amount is not the serving size. 21 CFR 101.9(b)(2) takes the reference amount and the shape of your product and gives the serving size you print.
Every cell is the regulation's own text, parsed from the eCFR XML for the edition of 2026-09-01. Nothing here is retyped.
The reference amounts are for food as it is eaten, so a mix or a concentrate is measured prepared, not as sold.
Read the table yourself: 21 CFR 101.12 on the eCFR, and 101.9(b) for the step from the reference amount to the printed serving. The $49 pack is the panel files for one product; these pages are free.

Real rows out of our sealed copies

Straight out of the table in the regulation. The label statement column is the wording the regulation gives for how the serving is written on the package.

What this page cannot tell you

Table 2 covers the general food supply. Foods for infants and for children 1 through 3 years old are in Table 1 and are on their own page.
Some small categories in the regulation hold fewer than five product lines. Those are grouped with related categories on one page rather than published as a page with four rows; the category column says which one each line came from.
A product that does not match any line here needs 21 CFR 101.12(f), which sends you to the closest category, and may need a petition.
The eCFR is not the official legal edition of the CFR.

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.
