About NutriFacts

Why we built this

NutriFacts started with a frustration shared by almost every small food producer: creating a single compliant Nutrition Facts panel was absurdly expensive and complicated. The established labeling platforms were built for mid-size and enterprise manufacturers, charging monthly subscriptions, locking exports behind paywalls, stamping watermarks across draft labels, and requiring an account before you could even see what the tool produced. For a home baker selling jam at a farmers market, a cottage-food operator in their first year, or a startup printing its first run of packaging, that pricing made no sense.

We set out to build the opposite of that: a nutrition label generator that is genuinely free, asks for nothing in return, and produces a print-ready, FDA-format label in a few minutes. No signup, no usage cap, no watermark, and no upsell standing between you and your finished label.

What NutriFacts does

NutriFacts is a browser-based tool that takes the nutrition data you already have and arranges it into the exact layout the U.S. Food and Drug Administration specifies for Nutrition Facts panels. We support all six FDA-recognized formats so your label matches your package and your product category:

• Standard vertical — the default panel used by most packaged foods.
• Dual column — per-serving and per-container values side by side, required for many 2–3 serving packages.
• Tabular — a horizontal layout for packages with limited vertical space.
• Linear — a compact single-line format for very small packages.
• Aggregate — for variety packs and assorted-product displays.
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) — dual-language panels for the Hispanic market.

Every label can be downloaded as a 300 DPI PNG for digital use or a print-ready PDF for your packaging vendor. Alongside the generator, we publish in-depth guides on FDA labeling rules, supplement facts panels, allergen declarations, and state-by-state cottage food laws so you can understand the regulation, not just fill in a form.

Where our data and formats come from

Accuracy matters more than anything else on a food label, so we are transparent about our sources. The label layouts, font-size minimums, nutrient ordering, rounding rules, and percent Daily Value calculations in our tool follow the FDA's regulations at 21 CFR 101.9 (Nutrition labeling of food) and 21 CFR 101.36 (Supplement Facts), including the changes finalized in the 2016 rule with general compliance from January 1, 2020.

The reference Daily Values we apply come from the FDA's published Daily Reference Values and Reference Daily Intakes. When our educational content discusses nutrient composition, we point readers to the USDA's FoodData Central database — the same public, government-maintained source professional analysts rely on. We do not invent nutrition numbers for your product; you supply the values, and our job is to format and calculate them correctly.

Your data stays on your device

The generator runs in your browser. The nutrition values, ingredients, and product details you enter are processed locally to render your label — they are not uploaded to or stored on our servers. For food makers protecting a proprietary recipe, that privacy-by-design approach means your formulation never leaves your computer. You can read the specifics in our Privacy Policy.

Our editorial standards

Food labeling is a regulated, high-stakes subject, and we treat our written guides accordingly. Every article on regulations, cottage food laws, and labeling requirements is researched against primary sources — the Code of Federal Regulations, FDA guidance documents, and the relevant state health-department statutes — and we cite those statutes directly so you can verify them yourself. When rules change or compliance dates pass, we revisit and update the affected pages.

That said, regulations are nuanced and your situation may have specifics our general guidance cannot cover. NutriFacts is an informational and formatting tool, not a substitute for professional regulatory, legal, or nutritional advice. For commercial products we always recommend confirming your labels with a food regulatory specialist, a registered dietitian, or an attorney familiar with food labeling law. Our full Disclaimer explains the limits of the tool.

Who NutriFacts is for

We built this for the people who make food in small batches and need a label they can trust:

• Home bakers and cottage food producers selling at markets, fairs, and online within their state.
• Early-stage food and beverage startups printing their first packaging runs.
• Restaurants and ghost kitchens packaging retail or grab-and-go items.
• Co-packers, recipe developers, and consultants who need quick, clean draft labels for clients.
• Students, dietitians, and educators teaching how Nutrition Facts panels are constructed.

How we keep the lights on

Because the tool is free and we do not sell your data, the site is supported by unobtrusive advertising and, in the future, optional value-added services for businesses that want more than the free generator offers. Our commitment is that the core label generator — all six formats, full- resolution PNG and PDF export, with no watermark and no signup — stays free.
