Australia Food Standards Code Standard 1.2.8 Nutrition Information Requirements 1.2.8-6: Show the required content in the panel, with extra declarations when claims are made

What does 1.2.8-6 require?

The panel must show the number of servings in the package (or per kilogram where weight varies), the average serving quantity in grams or millilitres, the unit quantity, and for a serving and a unit quantity the average energy in kilojoules (optionally also kilocalories), the average grams of protein, carbohydrate, sugars, fat and saturated fat, the average milligrams of sodium, and any other nutrient or biologically active substance that a claim relies on, set out in the Schedule 12 format. Further declarations are required for claims: trans, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat for claims about cholesterol or fatty acids; dietary fibre presence or absence (shown as 0) for claims about fibre, sugars or carbohydrate; unavailable carbohydrate where subtracted; individual declarations of substances at 5 g per 100 g or more that were subtracted or quantified in the carbohydrate calculation; phytosterols as total plant sterol equivalents; galactose for lactose claims; potassium for salt or sodium claims; and each omega-3 fatty acid and the total for omega-3 claims.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 2 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 25-26 Chains selling standard food items at 20 or more NSW or 50 or more Australian locations: show each item's average energy in kilojoules and the 8,700 kJ daily intake statement
  • 27 Businesses outside the threshold that choose to show kilojoules must use the same prescribed calculation and display rules

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
