Using the Front-of-Package Labeling

Per the regulations, the nutrients for Front-of-Package labels must be listed in Spanish and include, in this order:

1. Saturated fat (Grasa saturada)
2. Other fats (Otras grasas)
3. Total sugars (Azucares totales)
4. Sodium (sodio)
5. Energy (Energía) - either per serving or per package, or both

How to get the FOP Energy amount to match the Nutrition Label Energy amount

Calorie values are always rounded to the nearest whole number for Front-of-Package labeling. Calorie values on the Nutrition Facts label, however, depend on whether you choose to use rounding rules, and which ones. As a result, you might notice a discrepancy between the two Calorie values. The regulations say this is OK, but if you would like the Calorie reporting to line up, follow these steps to change the Calorie value on the Nutrition Facts panel:

1. With your Recipe open, click Edit Label
2. Select Nutrient Options and expand Calories
3. Check Round to the Nearest Whole Number
4. Click OK.

The Nutrition Facts Calorie value and FOP value will now match.
