Nutrition labelling requirements in North Macedonia
Packaged food sold in North Macedonia must carry a nutrition declaration under Pravilnik za načinot na označuvanjeto na hranata (Sl. vesnik RM 118/2005). This page covers the North Macedonia - Pravilnik za označuvanje format: Macedonian rulebook partially aligned with EU 1169/2011. A compliant North Macedonian nutrition label declares 7 mandatory nutrients: energy, fat, of which saturates, carbohydrate, of which sugars, protein and salt. Values are declared per 100 g or 100 ml, with energy in both kJ and kcal, and salt rather than sodium. The panel is headed "Nutrition Declaration". Macedonian is required on pack. There is no mandatory front-of-pack warning scheme. NFL builds a print-ready North Macedonian nutrition label from your recipe, applying the rounding rules and reference intakes for North Macedonia automatically, and exports it as PDF, PNG, SVG, JPG or EPS.

Key facts
North Macedonia food labelling requirements under the Food Information Rulebook
North Macedonia's food information rules are in the Rulebook on food information (Правилник за информации поврзани со храната), published in the Official Gazette No. 150 of 2 September 2015 and in force, together with a later supplement. The Food and Veterinary Agency (AHV) states that it was adopted under the Law on Food Safety and is aligned with EU Regulation 1169/2011.
For food intended for the final consumer, these are mandatory where they apply:
- name of the food, ingredients, and emphasised allergens;
- quantity of certain ingredients and net quantity;
- minimum durability or use-by date and storage or use conditions;
- the food business operator's name and address;
- country or place of origin where required, and instructions for use where needed;
- alcoholic strength for relevant drinks; and
- nutrition information.
The information must be easy to see, clearly legible and, where appropriate, indelible, and the rulebook sets a mandatory minimum character size, with a smaller size allowed on small packages.

North Macedonia nutrition declaration requirements
A nutrition declaration is mandatory for prepacked food covered by the rulebook unless an exemption applies. It shows energy and the amounts of fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt, expressed per 100 g or 100 ml.
Values may be based on the manufacturer's analysis, a calculation from known average values of the ingredients, or generally established and accepted data. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat, polyols, starch, fibre and qualifying vitamins or minerals may be added voluntarily.
Foods listed in the rulebook's exemption annex do not need a declaration, and drinks above 1.2% alcohol by volume are outside the general requirement.

Macedonian language food label requirements
Mandatory information on the package must be in Macedonian. The Food and Veterinary Agency's guidance says other languages may be added voluntarily, but they cannot replace the Macedonian text.
The rulebook names the Macedonian language but does not set a separate script rule in its labelling provision, and it does not make Albanian a general mandatory second language on food labels. This differs from Bosnia and Herzegovina, where three languages and two scripts are recognised.

Imported food labelling and the Food and Veterinary Agency
Imported food sold in North Macedonia must carry the mandatory information in Macedonian. An imported food may keep the name it is sold under in its country of production, but additional descriptive information is mandatory where that name would not tell consumers what the food is.
AHV guidance says importer and origin information must be declared on imported products, and its procedures for some regulated food categories require the submitted labelling to be in Macedonian.
The rulebook's definition of labelling covers information attached to or accompanying the package. It does not set a single sticker procedure for all imports, so the requirement to meet is that the Macedonian information is present when the food is marketed. AHV is the competent authority for official controls of food labelling.
