Supplement Facts vs. Nutrition Facts

The two panels look alike and are not interchangeable. A Nutrition Facts panel follows 21 CFR 101.9 and belongs on conventional foods. A Supplement Facts panel follows 21 CFR 101.36 and belongs on dietary supplements. Putting the wrong one on a product is a labelling violation even when every number on it is accurate.

Three differences matter in practice. A Supplement Facts panel may list dietary ingredients that have no established Daily Value, which a Nutrition Facts panel may not. It must identify the part of the plant used for any botanical — aerial parts, root, fruit — not just the species. And it may declare a proprietary blend as a single total weight, listing the components beneath it without individual amounts.

What 21 CFR 101.36 requires

Proprietary blends — the total, not each part

A blend gets one row carrying the combined weight of everything in it. Its components are then listed indented underneath, in descending order by weight, with no amounts of their own. This is the one place the regulation lets a formulation stay private, and it is also the part most self-made labels get wrong — either by listing amounts that give the blend away anyway, or by omitting the total the rule actually requires.

The dagger footnote

Most botanicals, and many amino acids, have no Daily Value established by the FDA. Those rows carry a dagger in the % Daily Value column instead of a number, and the panel closes with Daily Value not established as a footnote. Leave the % field blank above and both the dagger and its footnote appear on their own — and only when the panel actually contains one.

Where “Other ingredients” goes

Excipients — capsule material, flow agents, fillers — are not dietary ingredients, so they do not belong inside the panel. They are listed immediately below the box, outside its border, under the heading Other ingredients. The export places them correctly.

Type size and rules

The regulation prescribes the panel’s structure, not only its content: a heavy bar beneath the serving information, hairlines between ingredient rows, a box around the whole panel, and the heading set larger than everything else. Panels that reproduce the words but not the rule weights are technically non-compliant, which is why this tool draws vector artwork rather than styled text.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Supplement Facts panel FDA-compliant?

The layout follows the format set out in 21 CFR 101.36: the Supplement Facts heading, serving information, the amount-per-serving and % Daily Value columns, indented proprietary blend components, and the required footnotes. You are still responsible for the accuracy of the values you enter and for the rest of your label, including the ingredient statement and your business address.

What is the difference between Supplement Facts and Nutrition Facts?

Nutrition Facts panels (21 CFR 101.9) go on conventional foods and may only list nutrients the FDA recognises. Supplement Facts panels (21 CFR 101.36) go on dietary supplements and may additionally list botanicals and other dietary ingredients that have no established Daily Value. Supplement Facts panels must also name the plant part used for botanicals, and may declare proprietary blends as a single total.

How do I list a proprietary blend?

Give the blend its own row with the total weight of the blend, then list each component indented beneath it without individual amounts. Components are listed in descending order by weight. In this tool, add a row for the blend with its total, then add each component as an indented row.

When do I use the dagger symbol?

A dagger marks any ingredient with no established Daily Value — most botanicals and many amino acids. Leave the % Daily Value field empty for that row and the tool inserts the dagger and the matching footnote automatically.

What resolution do I need for printing?

The PNG and PDF exports rasterise at three times the panel's on-screen size, which clears 300 dpi for a panel printed at typical label width. For artwork that will be scaled up, use the SVG export instead — it stays sharp at any size.

Does this tool have a limit on how many labels I can make?

No. There is no cap, no account and no watermark. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded to a server.
