The Difference Between a Nutrition Label Maker and a Nutrition Facts Label Maker

You might notice that our website has tools with names, such as the Nutrition Facts Label Maker and the Nutrition Label Generator. Why does this happen? People use words when searching for these tools. Whether you search for "label maker" "label generator" or "facts label maker" you are looking for a clean professional FDA‑style Nutrition Facts panel. We provide pages that help you find the tool by using the words you naturally type.

Why Added Sugars Are Important in Modern Labels

In 2016 the FDA updated the Nutrition Facts label for the time in over 20 years. One of the updates was the requirement to list Added Sugars.

Total Sugars includes all sugars: the sugars that're naturally in the food, such as fructose in fruit or lactose in milk plus any sugars that are added during processing.
Added Sugars specifically refers to sweeteners that are added to the product, such as table sugar, fructose corn syrup, honey or agave.

When you use this label maker for your recipes this label maker is best to calculate how sugar you are adding, manually. Health‑focused people are trying to reduce their intake of added sugars. Showing this amount on your label or keeping it low can make your recipe or product more appealing.

Understanding Serving Size vs Portion Size

This is one of the sources of confusion in nutrition tracking:

Serving Size: This is the amount of food used to calculate the numbers on the label. For example the label might say "Serving Size: 1 cup (30g)." If you eat 1 cup you consume the calories listed on the label.
Portion Size: This is the amount of food you actually choose to eat. If you pour 2 cups of that granola into your bowl your portion size is 2 cups. You must double all the calories and macros on the label to get a count.

When creating labels for your recipes always use serving sizes so people can easily track their intake.

Allergen Labeling: What You Need to Know

If you are making labels for products you plan to sell you must be aware of the FDA’s nine food allergens. These allergens must be clearly stated on the packaging. They are:

Milk
Eggs
Fish
shellfish
Tree nuts
Peanuts
Wheat
Soybeans
Sesame (added in 2023)

Even if you are just making labels for a bake sale or a small local market adding a "Contains: [Allergen]" statement under your ingredient list is a sign of professionalism. Helps keep your customers safe.
