Manufacturers must define a realistic serving size and state how many of those servings are in the entire pack. Unlike the FDA, which <a href=\"https:\/\/foodlabelmaker.com\/en-ca\/regulatory-hub\/fda\/serving-size\/\">regulates serving sizes<\/a> to ensure consistency and clarity for consumers, the FSANZ does not have its own <a href=\"https:\/\/foodlabelmaker.com\/en-ca\/regulatory-hub\/fda\/racc\/\">RACC<\/a> (Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed) to determine serving sizes for foods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Comparison Columns: <\/strong>These dual columns ( \u201cQuantity per Serving\u201d and \u201cQuantity per 100 g\u201d) are required for comparing similar products across different brands, using the 100g standard, and so consumers can see exactly what they are consuming per portion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Energy (in Kilojoules)<\/strong>: In Australia and New Zealand, energy on a nutrition panel must be presented in kilojoules (kJ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Mandatory Macronutrients &amp; Micronutrients<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Protein:<\/strong> Measured in grams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fat (Total and Saturated):<\/strong> Total fat and saturated fat must be listed separately to help consumers monitor heart health.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carbohydrate (Total and Sugars):<\/strong> This shows the total carbs versus the amount that comes specifically from sugars (naturally occurring or added).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sodium:<\/strong> Always listed in milligrams (mg) because even small amounts significantly impact health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-formatting-amp-style\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Formatting_Style\"><\/span>Formatting &amp; Style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To remain compliant, the NIP must be presented in the standard English format and must be prominently and legibly displayed, which often includes being set within a distinct border to separate it from other packaging design elements.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is some flexibility in layout for uniquely shaped packages, the primary goal is to ensure consumers can clearly read the information without it being obscured or crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are struggling with complex calculations or layout rules, <a href=\"https:\/\/foodlabelmaker.com\/en-ca\/\">try our nutrition information calculator <\/a>Australia-based food businesses trust, ensuring font sizes and borders meet the \u201clegibility\u201d test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-additional-nutrition-labeling-requirements-in-australia-amp-nz\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additional_Nutrition_Labeling_Requirements_in_Australia_NZ\"><\/span>Additional Nutrition Labeling Requirements in Australia &amp; NZ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the NIP is the core of your label, it is only one part of a compliant product. Food manufacturers are legally required to integrate mandatory safety elements, such as allergen warnings. Voluntary marketing tools, like nutrition claims, can also be added but must meet specific regulatory standards to ensure they\u2019re not misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nutrition-content-claims\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nutrition_Content_Claims\"><\/span><strong>Nutrition Content Claims<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common ways businesses enhance their labels is through voluntary nutrition content claims, such as \u201cHigh in Fibre\u201d, \u201cGood source of Calcium\u201d or \u201cLow Fat\u201d. Under Standard 1.2.7, once you choose to make a claim, it becomes mandatory to include that specific nutrient in your NIP and meet the prescribed criteria for that claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-health-star-rating-hsr-system\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Health_Star_Rating_HSR_System\"><\/span>The Health Star Rating (HSR) System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For over a decade, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthstarrating.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Health Star Rating system<\/a> has operated as a voluntary front-of-pack labeling tool designed to help consumers compare the nutritional profiles of similar products. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthstarrating.gov.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in February 2026<\/a>, Food Ministers from Australia and New Zealand formally agreed to begin the process of mandating the system after voluntary industry uptake failed to reach the 70% target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to note that while the process to mandate has officially begun, the HSR system remains voluntary during the current transition period. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ)is now beginning the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/2026\/feb\/13\/health-star-rating-packaged-food-mandatory-australia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">12-to-18-month<\/a> legislative process to formally add the HSR to the Food Standards Code. For manufacturers, this is a critical time to ensure your NIP data is accurate, as these figures will directly determine your product\u2019s star rating once the mandate takes effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-mandatory-label-elements\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Mandatory_Label_Elements\"><\/span><strong>Other Mandatory Label Elements<\/strong>\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond nutritional data, <strong>Standard 1.2.1<\/strong> requires several other non-negotiable elements for a food product label. This includes <strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Product Identity:<\/strong> The label must include a name or description that clearly indicates the \u201ctrue nature\u201d of the food to prevent misleading consumers. It must also include Lot Identification (batch numbers) to assist in the event of a food recall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety Information &amp; PEAL:<\/strong> Mandatory allergen declarations must now follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodstandards.gov.au\/food-standards-code\/proposals\/P1044PlainEnglishAllergenLabelling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plain English Allergen Labelling (PEAL)<\/a> standards. Allergens must be bolded in the ingredients list and repeated in a separate bold \u201cContains\u201d statement. Other safety elements include advisory statements (e.g., for caffeine) and date marking (Use By or Best Before).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Transparency &amp; Supplier Details:<\/strong> A complete statement of ingredients is required, listed in descending order by ingoing weight. Additionally, you must include the name and physical street address of the supplier in Australia or New Zealand; a PO Box is legally insufficient for this requirement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Country of Origin:<\/strong> Most food sold in retail in Australia must display a country of origin label. For \u201cpriority foods,\u201d this includes the well-known kangaroo logo, a bar chart showing the percentage of local ingredients, and a supporting text statement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Special Instructions:<\/strong> To ensure the food remains safe until its expiration, you must include specific storage conditions (e.g., \u201cStore below 4\u00b0C\u201d) and directions for use if the food requires preparation before consumption.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-generate-a-compliant-nutrition-information-panel\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Generate_a_Compliant_Nutrition_Information_Panel\"><\/span>How to Generate a Compliant Nutrition Information Panel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right method for your NIP depends on your product\u2019s complexity and budget. There are 3 primary approaches used by AU\/NZ food manufacturers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table flm-header\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Lab Analysis<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Spreadsheet (Manual)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Food Labeling Software (Food Label Maker)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/td><td>High ($500+ per test)<\/td><td>Free<\/td><td>Low \/ Subscription<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Speed<\/strong><\/td><td>2\u20134 Weeks<\/td><td>Slow (Manual Entry)<\/td><td>Instant<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Accuracy<\/strong><\/td><td>High (Chemical)<\/td><td>Low (User Error Risk)<\/td><td>High (Verified Databases)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Compliance<\/strong><\/td><td>Technical Report<\/td><td>Manual Formatting<\/td><td>FSANZ Template Built-in<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A food labeling software like <a href=\"https:\/\/foodlabelmaker.com\/en-ca\/\">Food Label Maker<\/a> provides a fast, reliable and cost-effective alternative to lab testing for all food products whilst ensuring calculations automatically follow strict FSANZ rounding rules and formatting standards. Accuracy in your NIP is more critical than ever; as of February 2026, the Health Star Rating (HSR) system has officially moved from voluntary to mandatory on all packaged foods in Australia and New Zealand. Because your mandatory star rating is calculated directly from your NIP data, any error in your panel can lead to an incorrect rating and regulatory non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By getting all the elements right on the nutrition label, and staying ahead of mandatory requirements, food businesses are able to position themselves for long-term success in a competitive market.

Its purpose is to provide consumers with the average quantity of energy and key nutrients contained within the food. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodstandards.gov.au\/food-standards-code\/legislation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Standard 1.2.8<\/a> of the Food Standards Code, almost all retail-packaged foods must display this information to help people make informed dietary choices.
