How can I create a simplified label for small packaging that displays only calories and ingredients?

Updated over a week ago

If your packaging has less than 40 square inches of labeling space, FDA allows a simplified label format. Instead of the full panel, you can show only essential details such as calories, key nutrients, allergens, and ingredients.

With Food Label Maker, you can easily create this format:

  • Go to Customize Label → Label Style → USA (FDA) → Simplified Label Style

  • This FDA-compliant format shows calories, fat, sodium, carbohydrates, protein, allergens, and the ingredient statement.

We also offer foodservice label formats that display only the main macronutrients (calories, carbs, protein, fat), along with allergens and ingredients — also available under Choose Label Style.
