What makes a good nutrition label generator

Plenty of “generators” are really just drawing tools. You type numbers into boxes and hope they're right. A real nutrition label generator, and what this one does, is compute the label from your recipe:

Generated, not drawn

Each ingredient is looked up in USDA FoodData Central (380,000+ foods), summed by weight, divided by your servings, and rounded by the FDA's nutrient-specific rules: calories to the nearest 5 or 10, fats to the nearest 0.5 g below 5 g, sodium to the nearest 5 or 10 mg. The %Daily Values come from the current DV table. You can't make a rounding mistake, because you never do the rounding.

The whole label, not just the panel

The generator also builds your ingredient statement (auto-ordered by weight, sub-ingredients in parentheses) and detects Big-9 allergens for the “Contains” line, the two elements retail buyers check right after the panel. A claims checker even screens which nutrient claims (“low sodium”, “good source of fiber”) your recipe appears to qualify for.

Print-ready output

Export the generated panel as high-resolution PNG, true-vector PDF, or SVG at label resolution. Generation and preview are free; the finalized export is $9 once, with edits and re-exports free for 7 days, versus $500–1,000 for a lab analysis or $49+/month for incumbent software.

The errors automation removes

When a buyer or inspector rejects a label, it's usually one of a handful of repeat offenders. A generator that computes the panel makes each of them structurally impossible:

  • Wrong nutrient order. The sequence in 21 CFR 101.9(c) is fixed; the renderer emits it in order every time.
  • Missing Added Sugars line. Required since the 2016 format update, and still absent from many DIY templates. It's always generated here.
  • %DV from outdated Daily Values. Old templates still divide by pre-2016 values. Panelry computes against the current DV table only.
  • Hand-rounding slips. Typing 3.7 g of fat instead of the correct 3.5 g declaration. The rounding step is automated, so it can't drift.

One recipe, four panel formats

The builder generates the standard vertical panel plus the tabular, linear, and dual-column formats. Tabular and linear layouts are what the FDA allows for small packages (under 40 square inches of label space), and dual-column panels show per-serving and per-container numbers side by side, required for packages holding 200–300% of the reference serving. Switching formats is a toggle. The math underneath never changes.

Added Sugars, computed rather than guessed

The trickiest line on the modern panel is generated from your ingredients too. Honey, maple syrup, cane sugar, and fruit-juice concentrates count as Added Sugars; the lactose naturally in milk and the sugars in whole fruit do not. Because the generator knows what each ingredient is, it splits Total Sugars and Added Sugars for you instead of leaving you to interpret the rule.

FAQ

Common questions

How fast does it generate a label?
The panel generates live as you type. A typical 6-ingredient recipe takes about five minutes, most of it choosing USDA matches. There's a one-click sample recipe if you want to see it work first.
Is the generated label FDA-compliant?
It follows the published FDA format and math (21 CFR 101.9): nutrient order, exact rounding, %DV, Added Sugars, and the 2016 design. Always verify the final label before printing. Panelry isn't affiliated with the FDA.
Is this nutrition label creator free?
Generating and previewing is free with no signup. Exporting the finalized, print-ready panel is $9 one-time (or unlimited with Pro at $12/mo), no subscription required.
Can I generate a custom nutrition label?
Yes: custom ingredients from supplier spec sheets, your own serving sizes with RACC guidance, and your product name on the panel. The output is your label, not a generic template.
What about the ingredient and allergen lines?
Generated too: an FDA-ordered ingredient statement and a Big-9 “Contains” line with tree-nut species named. The free cottage-label tool covers the full non-panel label.
What font size does the Nutrition Facts panel need?
21 CFR 101.9(d) sets minimum type sizes: most panel text at 8 point or larger, the calorie count in prominent larger type, and 'Nutrition Facts' as the largest text on the panel. Panelry's vector exports preserve these proportions at any print size, so scaling the file doesn't break compliance.
How do I label a very small package?
Packages with under 40 square inches of labeling space may use the tabular or linear format, both of which Panelry generates. At 12 square inches or less, 21 CFR 101.9(j)(13) even lets you print an address or phone number for nutrition information instead of a panel, provided the label makes no nutrition claims.
Does honey count as Added Sugars?
Yes. Honey, maple syrup, agave, and fruit-juice concentrates all count toward the Added Sugars line, while the lactose in milk and the sugars naturally present in whole fruit do not. The generator classifies each ingredient for you.
