Brazil label rules for pasta / cooking sauces
What a pasta / cooking sauces label must carry to be accepted in Brazil — the reference amount, the panel format, the languages, and the law each of them comes from. Every figure below is the one LabelYog's engine uses to build the label itself.
| Reference portion | 60 gANVISA fixes this per food category. RDC 429/2020 art. 8 requires the nutrition table to be declared per 100 g or 100 mL AND per portion, and the portion is the one defined in Annex V of IN 75/2020 — not a serving you choose. Art. 3 calls it the quantity used as the REFERENCE for nutrition labelling. Mapped to Annex V, Grupo II: “Molho de tomate ou à base de tomate e outros vegetais”. |

Why the reference amount decides everything
The serving size printed on a pack is generally not chosen by the person selling it. Where Brazil fixes a reference amount for a food category, the declared serving — and therefore every number in the panel — is derived from that amount rather than from the portion you happen to sell. The figures above are the ones LabelYog's engine uses, each shown with the law it comes from.
What LabelYog does with this
Enter the recipe once. The engine applies the reference amount above, rounds each nutrient the way this regulator requires (they do not agree with one another), builds the panel in an accepted format, and fits it inside the trim size you already print. The same recipe can then be re-pointed at another market without re-entering anything.
Before any of that costs you anything: the nutrition panel generator, the barcode generator and the QR generator are free and need no account at all. What a paid plan adds is set out on pricing, and the comparison page says what we think actually decides the choice — including the cases where the answer is not us. Every market we build for has its own rule-book page.
