FDA has not provided label templates in the past and we do not plan to do so now. The use of a template would not necessarily reflect all of the factors that a company may need to consider that are unique to its product, such as the placement of information on a particular package size, the need for certain nutrition information based on label claims made elsewhere on the label, and decisions related to voluntary nutrition information that may be included or omitted. Therefore, we suggest that companies use the sample labels and graphic illustrations as visual guides when formatting their own labels..
To help industry comply with the changes described in the new regulations, we are posting graphic illustrations of several different format displays that depict the requirements and also provide examples of certain format elements that have not changed. Refer to the previous question for links. FDA is also aware that the private sector is equipped to provide labeling templates.
