US label rules for tofu, bean cake, paneer-style analogues
What a tofu, bean cake, paneer-style analogues label must carry to be accepted in United States — 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 amount (RACC) | 85.0 g21 CFR 101.12 fixes this per statutory category. Your serving size on pack is derived from it — not from the portion you happen to sell. |
|---|---|

Why the reference amount decides everything
In the United States the serving size printed on a pack is not chosen by the person selling it. 21 CFR 101.12 fixes a reference amount for each statutory category, and the declared serving — and therefore every number in the panel — is derived from that amount. Declaring against the portion you happen to sell, rather than the amount the regulation names, is the single most common reason a label is sent back.
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.
