Use unrounded values when calculating the Percent Standard

Hide Dual Declaration “Contributes and Additional...” Footnote

  • This will hide that footnote.

Show Shortened % Daily Value Footnote

  • The footnote reads: "The % Daily Value tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories is a day is used for general nutrition advice." The shortened version removed the second sentence.

Small packaging exemption 

  • If your package can only accommodate less than 12 sq. in. of labeling space, you may use this option. It will set all type in 6-point Helvetica.
