Free nutrition label template

This is the Nutrition Facts panel in the order the FDA sets in 21 CFR 101.9(d), with every value left blank. A template shows the layout. It cannot tell you your numbers.

Short answer: a blank panel is only a layout. Every line still needs a real value from your own recipe, rounded the FDA way.
Blank panel, no values

What a template does not do

Three things people expect from a template that it cannot give them.

It has no numbers

Calories, fat, sodium and the rest come from what is in your food. Nothing on this page can supply them. They come from your recipe.

FDA’s own images are not a label

FDA offers label images to download. The page marks them “for educational purposes only” and says they do not meet the labeling requirements in 21 CFR 101.9. Do not print one on a product.

It does not round

The FDA rounds each line by its own rule, and the serving size follows a set reference amount. Our rounding guide lists the rules.

What goes on the panel, top to bottom

The order comes from 21 CFR 101.9(d).

Heading
Nutrition Facts

Then servings per container, then the serving size.

Calories
Under “Amount per serving”

On one line, in the largest type.

Nutrients
With % Daily Value

Fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrate, protein, then vitamin D, calcium, iron and potassium.

Footnote
% Daily Value note

The 2,000 calorie sentence goes at the bottom.

Not every food uses this full layout. Small packages and some simple foods may use other formats under 21 CFR 101.9(f) and (j)(13). Do you need a panel at all? See the small business exemption guide.
