Real rows out of our sealed copies
Each row is one paragraph of the regulation, quoted from the eCFR and cut at a word boundary. The left column is the paragraph label so you can find it in the source.
| Paragraph | What the regulation says |
|---|---|
| (11)(i) | (11)(i) If the space beneath the information on vitamins and minerals is not adequate to accommodate the information required in paragraph (d)(9) of this section, the information required in paragraph (d)(9) may be moved to the right of the column required in paragraph (d)(7)(ii) of this section and set off by a line that distinguishes it and sets it apart from the percent Daily Value information. The caloric conversion information provided for in paragraph (d)(10) of this section may be presented beneath either side or along the full length of the nutrition label. |
| (ii) | (ii) If the space beneath the mandatory declaration of potassium is not adequate to accommodate any remaining vitamins and minerals to be declared or the information required in paragraph (d)(9) of this section, the remaining information may be moved to the right and set off by a line that distinguishes it and sets it apart from the nutrients and the percent DV information given to the left. The caloric conversion information provided for in paragraph (d)(10) of this section may be presented beneath either side or along the full length of the nutrition label. |
| (iii) | (iii) If there is not sufficient continuous vertical space (i.e., approximately 3 in) to accommodate the required components of the nutrition label up to and including the mandatory declaration of potassium, the nutrition label may be presented in a tabular display as shown in the following sample label. |
| (13)(i) | (13)(i) Foods in small packages that have a total surface area available to bear labeling of less than 12 square inches, Provided, That the labels for these foods bear no nutrition claims or other nutrition information in any context on the label or in labeling or advertising, except as provided in § 101.8(c). Claims or other nutrition information, except as provided in § 101.8(c), subject the food to the provisions of this section. Foods in packages subject to requirements of paragraphs (j)(13)(ii)(A)(1) and (2) of this section do not require the information in paragraphs (d)(9) and (f)(5) related to the footnote, however the abbreviated footnote statement “% DV = % Daily Value” may be |
| (1) | (1) The following sample label illustrates the tabular display for small packages. |
| (2) | (2) The following sample label illustrates the linear display. |
| (17) | (17) Foods in packages that have a total surface area available to bear labeling greater than 40 square inches but whose principal display panel and information panel do not provide sufficient space to accommodate all required information may use any alternate panel that can be readily seen by consumers for the nutrition label. The space needed for vignettes, designs, and other nonmandatory label information on the principal display panel may be considered in determining the sufficiency of available space on the principal display panel for the placement of the nutrition label. Nonmandatory label information on the information panel shall not be considered in determining the sufficiency of |
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.
