Gummy Label

Gummy labels come in two kinds. Gummy candy needs the name, the net weight, an ingredient list, an allergen line, your name and address and Nutrition Facts, with a serving of pieces close to 30 g. Gummy vitamins and other gummies sold as dietary supplements get a Supplement Facts panel instead, with the serving you recommend on the label. Our tool makes both: enter your candy recipe or your supplement formula and download the panel.

Gummy rules

Things that are different for gummies

30 gGummy candy is all other candiesFDA's product list puts gummy bears in the all other candies category, with a 30 g reference amount and the serving in pieces.21 CFR 101.12(b), Table 2
10 piecesSmall gummies are countedWhen one gummy weighs 15 g or less, the serving is the number of whole pieces closest to 30 g. Our 3 g grape gummies make 10 pieces (30g). 8 g gummy worms make 4 pieces (32g).21 CFR 101.9(b)(2)(i)(A)
Candy or supplement?The label decides the panelA gummy with a vitamin, mineral, herb or other dietary ingredient is a dietary supplement when it is labeled as one and not presented as a conventional food. Then it gets Supplement Facts and "dietary supplement" in its name. Sold as candy, it gets Nutrition Facts.21 U.S.C. 321(ff); 21 CFR 101.3(g)
2 gummiesSupplement serving and sugarsThe serving of a supplement gummy is the most you recommend per occasion, or 1 gummy without a recommendation. Unlike most capsules, gummies carry sugar: calories, total sugars and added sugars must be listed once they no longer round to zero. Our Supplement Facts mode has a gummy unit for this.21 CFR 101.12(b), 101.36(b)
ClaimsSupports immune health?A structure or function claim on a supplement needs this disclaimer next to it: "This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease." Our tool does not check claims.21 CFR 101.93(c)FDA Supplement Disclaimer →
IronIron gummies need a boxed warningA supplement in solid oral dosage form with iron as an iron source carries a set warning, word for word, starting "WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6." It goes on the information panel of the jar, set off in a box with hairlines. Add it to your jar artwork.21 CFR 101.17(e)

Sample recipe included

Start from a grape gummy recipe that's already filled in

Gummies lose water while they set and dry, so weigh the batch when it is ready to pack and enter that as the weight after cooking. Going vegan? Swap the gelatin for fruit pectin and the label follows. A sour sugar coat with citric acid goes in from the supplier's label as a custom ingredient.
