About the format
What an FDA vertical Nutrition Facts label template shows
An FDA vertical Nutrition Facts label template is a visual starting point for arranging product, serving, calorie, nutrient, and Daily Value information in a stacked panel. This page uses the same vertical preview component as the label generator, so you can inspect the hierarchy before preparing final artwork.
FDA publishes a Standard Vertical example alongside other formats. That does not mean the vertical format is automatically correct for every package. The applicable format can depend on the product, package, available label space, serving situation, and other requirements that apply to the finished label.
Calories and nutrient rows
The preview arranges calories and nutrient declarations in the familiar stacked Nutrition Facts hierarchy.
Percent Daily Value
Where applicable, the preview shows percent Daily Value alongside the declared nutrient amount.
Footnote and context
The lower portion of the panel provides the Daily Value context used in the current label design.
These descriptions explain what the example displays; they are not a complete list of every requirement for every food. Use the applicable FDA regulations and professional review for the final label.
How to use it
Start with reviewed data, then review the layout
- 01
Confirm the serving basis
Use the serving size and servings-per-container information that applies to the product version you are labeling.
- 02
Enter the nutrition values
Bring in values from an appropriate, reviewed source. Empty fields should remain unfinished rather than being silently treated as zero.
- 03
Review before packaging
Check the rendered panel alongside the requirements, source records, claims, and other packaging statements that apply to your product.
What FDA materials say
FDA describes the updated Nutrition Facts label as a refreshed design with updated serving-size requirements and nutrient information. Its official examples include a standard vertical format along with other formats for specific situations.
The FDA page also explains that the label includes items such as added sugars and the actual amounts plus percent Daily Value for vitamin D, calcium, iron, and potassium under the updated rules. The exact requirements for a product still need to be checked against the applicable regulations.

No. This is an FDA-style layout preview for planning and packaging review. FDA does not approve this page or the example values, and the product owner remains responsible for verifying the label requirements that apply to the food.
What information do I need before using the template?
You need reviewed product and serving details plus nutrition values for the serving basis you plan to declare. Use values from an appropriate source for your product, such as a laboratory analysis, qualified nutrition calculation, or verified supplier information.
Can I use this template for any food product?
The preview shows one standard FDA-style vertical arrangement. The correct format and requirements can vary with the product, package, serving situation, claims, and market. Review the applicable FDA rules before final packaging.
