Nutrition labels communicate the dietary content of food products and are legally required on packaged food in both the UK and USA. For small food businesses, home bakers selling at markets, and food bloggers creating recipe content, having an accurate nutrition facts image is essential for transparency and compliance. At imgresizr.com, you can create nutrition label images in FDA and UK FSA formats, for free.
Nutrition Label Formats
| Country | Format | Required By |
|---|---|---|
| USA | FDA Nutrition Facts panel | FDA 21 CFR Part 101 |
| UK | FSA "traffic light" front-of-pack | UK FSA / HFSS regulations |
| EU | Energy + 6 mandatory nutrients | EU 1169/2011 |
How to Create Nutrition Label Images at imgresizr.com
Open imgresizr.com and create a canvas matching standard nutrition panel dimensions. For the FDA format (USA), create a white panel approximately 600px wide with a thick black border and the distinctive "Nutrition Facts" header in bold. Use the Caption tool to add: serving size, servings per container, calories, and the standard nutrient breakdown (total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrate, dietary fibre, total sugars, added sugars, protein, and vitamins). Use the precise FDA typography — bold for "Calories" and the number, standard weight for nutrients. For UK labels, use the FSA colour-coded traffic light format with green, amber, and red for fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt per 100g and per portion. Export as PNG for the highest quality text reproduction.
Nutrition Label Legal Notes
- Use a registered nutritional analysis service for legally compliant labels — estimates are not sufficient for commercial food products
- UK regulations changed post-Brexit — check the latest FSA guidance for current requirements
- Allergen information must be listed separately from the nutrition panel and bolded in the ingredients list
- Nutrient reference values (NRVs) for % Daily Value differ between the UK and USA
