Market guide
What this label needs before it goes on pack.
This guide is written for product, operations, QA, and regulatory teams who need the practical shape of a Australia & New Zealand nutrition label.
The NIP format
Food sold in Australia and New Zealand follows the FSANZ Food Standards Code (Standard 1.2.8 for nutrition information). The Nutrition Information Panel (NIP) declares, per serving and per 100 g/100 ml:
- Energy (kJ — kilojoules, not calories)
- Protein
- Fat, total and saturated
- Carbohydrate and sugars
- Sodium
The panel states the number of servings per package and the serving size. Additional nutrients must be declared when claims are made about them (e.g. a fibre claim requires fibre in the NIP).
Other label elements
Allergen declaration follows the Plain English Allergen Labelling (PEAL) rules — required allergen names in bold, in both the ingredient list and a "Contains" summary statement. Country-of-origin labelling applies to food sold in Australia under its own information standard.
How FCOS helps
Pick Australia as a market in FCOS to generate a NIP-style output — per-serving plus per-100g columns and kJ energy — from the same product data you use everywhere else.
This overview is general guidance, not legal advice. Final compliance always depends on your product and jurisdiction — confirm requirements with your regulatory counsel.
