Freeze-Dried Dragon Fruit Nutrition Facts and Serving-Size Review

Freeze-dried dragon fruit Nutrition Facts can look finished while the label file remains unsafe for private label approval. A buyer may receive a clean panel showing calories, carbohydrate, fiber, sugars, protein and potassium. That panel still does not prove the exact FruitBuys lot, the final formula, the powder carrier status, the serving-size classification or the artwork requirement for the destination market. A 56.7 g retail pouch can also create serving-size questions when the panel declares two servings.

If the buyer copies a sample Nutrition Facts panel into artwork without formula and market review, the SKU carries a label-risk fuse. FruitBuys treats Nutrition Facts as part of Documentation, Quality Control and OEM / Private Label Delivery. The label must match the product, pack, market and release file.

How to Read the Supplied Nutrition Facts Panel

The supplied panel shows nutrition values per 28.35 g serving and two servings per container.
These values can support preliminary review, but they cannot release every formula, format, pack size or destination label.
Buyers should treat the panel as sample data until the exact product and market route are verified.

The supplied Nutrition Facts panel states a serving size of 28.35 g and 2 servings per container. That implies a package net weight of 56.7 g. The panel lists the following per serving:

The arithmetic is internally consistent. Fat contributes about 13.5 kcal, carbohydrate about 96 kcal and protein about 8 kcal. That totals about 117.5 kcal, which aligns with a rounded 120 kcal declaration.

FDA consumer guidance explains that serving size and servings per container appear at the top of the Nutrition Facts label, and that label information usually appears based on one serving of the food. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) That makes the serving-size line a control point, not a formatting detail. The buyer should not treat the sample panel as a finished artwork file. It needs product-specific confirmation through the freeze-dried dragon fruit buyer guide.

Converting the Supplied Values to 100 Grams

A 100 g view helps B2B buyers compare product concepts, but it should not become final market artwork without regulatory review. The conversion factor from 28.35 g to 100 g is:

100 ÷ 28.35 = 3.5273

Using the supplied panel, the approximate values per 100 g are:

This conversion supports internal review. It does not replace laboratory data. It also does not handle rounding rules, serving-size rules, Daily Value calculations or destination-specific label format.

The buyer should apply three cautions:

1. Values declared as zero on a U.S.-style panel may reflect rounding rules, not absolute absence.
2. Per-serving and per-100 g views serve different regulatory systems.
3. Powder, slices, bites and cubes may need separate nutrition files if formulation or carrier status changes.

For EU label review, the European Commission states that nutrition information must be expressed per 100 g or per 100 ml under the food information framework. (Food Safety) That differs from the U.S. approach, where Nutrition Facts center on serving size and may also show per-package information in certain cases. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration)

A buyer exporting to multiple markets should rebuild the nutrition declaration for each destination. Copy-paste labeling is a quiet customs problem wearing a clean font.

Why Pack Size Changes Serving-Size Treatment

Serving size is a regulatory decision tied to product category and package size.
A 56.7 g pouch with two servings may need review because U.S. rules use Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed and single-serving container rules.
Buyers should confirm serving-size treatment before artwork approval.

The supplied panel uses 28.35 g as one serving and declares 2 servings per container. For U.S. label review, that structure needs a category decision.

The eCFR table for Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed lists 30 g for “fruit and vegetable-based snacks, such as fruit chips” and also requires manufacturers to convert reference amounts into label serving sizes under 21 CFR 101.9(b). (Legal Information Institute) The eCFR nutrition-labeling rule also states that if a unit weighs at least 67% but less than 200% of the applicable reference amount, the serving size shall be one unit. (Legal Information Institute)

This creates a direct review point for a 56.7 g pouch. If the product falls under a 30 g RACC snack route, the pack sits below 200% of RACC. That may push the pack toward a single-serving treatment. If the product falls under another dried-fruit category, the reviewer must confirm that route before artwork.

The buyer should not decide this by design preference. The label must follow the applicable product category and package presentation.

Serving-size review should include:

If a private label buyer wants a 50 g or 56.7 g pouch, serving-size review must happen before artwork lock. Changing the serving count later can change calories, nutrient declarations, front-panel messaging and nutrition-claim eligibility.

Ingredient and Carrier Effects

Freeze-dried dragon fruit Nutrition Facts must match the ingredient file. A slice or bite made from fruit flesh can differ from a powder formulated with carrier, anti-caking agent or another processing ingredient. The buyer cannot infer ingredient status from color.

This matters most for powder. Buyers should first confirm the dragon fruit powder ingredient specification [FD-DF-06]. A red powder may be:

• Fruit-only powder
• Fruit powder with carrier
• Fruit powder with anti-caking agent
• Fruit powder blend
• Drink-base ingredient
• Private label finished product

Each route can change:

U.S. rules require ingredients to appear by common or usual name in descending order of predominance by weight, with specific regulatory exceptions. (Legal Information Institute) EU food information rules also control ingredient information and nutrition declaration under Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. (EUR-Lex)

Do not publish “100% dragon fruit,” “no carrier,” “no added sugar” or similar claims unless the product formula and release file support them. The supplied sample panel lists 0 g added sugars, but that panel alone does not prove the formula behind every future product. FruitBuys should align ingredient statement, Nutrition Facts basis and product format before any private label artwork moves forward.

Laboratory Data Behind Nutrition Facts

Nutrition Facts can come from laboratory analysis, calculation from verified formulation data or a route accepted by the destination market. The buyer should know which basis supports the label.

A lab report should identify:

• Product name
• Variant
• Format
• Formula
• Sample date
• Sample condition
• Lab method
• Nutrient results
• Report number
• Authorized issuer
• Artwork version connected to the data

For B2B release, the nutrition file should not sit alone. It should connect to the laboratory and COA requirements and the product specification. Nutrition values support labeling. COA supports lot release. Microbiology, residues, contaminants, moisture and Aw serve different proof needs.

A clean Nutrition Facts panel cannot replace:

FDA explains that the % Daily Value shows how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a total daily diet, and that 2,000 calories per day is used as a general nutrition advice reference. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) That makes Nutrition Facts useful for consumer-facing information, but it does not turn the panel into a QA release certificate.

FruitBuys should connect nutrition data to the exact product formula and private label brief. If the buyer changes from slices to powder, from fruit-only powder to formulated powder, or from 50 g to 100 g pouch, the nutrition file should reopen.

US, EU and UAE Label Routes Are Not the Same

A buyer should not use one Nutrition Facts panel across all markets. The U.S., EU and UAE routes differ in label format, serving-size logic, language and required presentation. Each route should follow the destination market compliance guide.

For the U.S., Nutrition Facts center on serving size and servings per container. FDA states that serving size reflects the amount people typically eat or drink and that nutrition information usually appears based on one serving. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) The eCFR nutrition-labeling rule controls serving size, single-serving containers and situations where per-package columns may be required. (Legal Information Institute)

For the EU, nutrition information must be expressed per 100 g or per 100 ml, and portion information may appear in addition when rules are met. (Food Safety)

For UAE and GCC-linked label review, GSO 2233:2021 covers requirements of nutritional labeling for packaged food products, with exemptions and product-category handling defined in the standard page summary. (GCC Standardization Authority) GSO 9:2022 also covers labeling of prepackaged food stuffs and references nutritional labeling and health or nutrition claim standards. (GSO Sims Preview Documentation)

A practical destination matrix:

The buyer should define the destination before design. Artwork created before market review often returns with red ink. That delays launch and weakens supplier confidence.

Private Label Artwork Workflow

Private label artwork should not start from design. It should start from product identity and follow the private label artwork workflow.

The artwork workflow should follow this order:

1. Confirm red-flesh or white-flesh variant
2. Confirm format: slices, bites, cubes or powder
3. Confirm ingredient statement
4. Confirm carrier and additive status
5. Confirm pack size
6. Confirm target market
7. Confirm serving-size route
8. Confirm Nutrition Facts or nutrition declaration basis
9. Confirm storage instruction
10. Confirm claims and prohibited language
11. Confirm lot coding and date coding
12. Confirm artwork version
13. Confirm final label review before printing

The supplied panel can support review, but it cannot serve as a final private label panel without confirming product, formula and destination. A 56.7 g U.S. pouch, a 100 g EU pouch and a bulk ingredient pack do not share the same label decision.

A private label buyer should also avoid claim creep. “No added sugar” requires formula and labeling review. “High fiber” or similar nutrition claims require market-specific eligibility checks. Color-led language should not become a health claim. Fruit-derived color does not prove clinical benefit.

FruitBuys connects private label artwork to Documentation and OEM / Private Label Delivery. The finished label must match the supplied product, not just the buyer’s preferred shelf story.

Application Mapping

Why FruitBuys Delivers This

FruitBuys supplies freeze-dried dragon fruit as a finished B2B product with specification, documentation and private label coordination under one accountable supplier relationship. Nutrition Facts do not float outside the supply file. They must match the product that FruitBuys supplies.

Under Documentation, FruitBuys aligns ingredient statement, nutrition basis, COA, lab file and artwork inputs. Under Quality Control, FruitBuys connects the approved product format to moisture, Aw, retained sample and release criteria. Under OEM/Private Label Delivery, FruitBuys coordinates pack size, label inputs, artwork version and destination review. Under Raw Material Sourcing Governance, FruitBuys aligns variant and raw-material suitability with the final product identity.

The buyer loses control when label work outruns product proof. A pouch can look ready while the serving size remains wrong. A powder can look colorful while carrier status remains unverified. A nutrition panel can look complete while the lab basis does not match the SKU. FruitBuys keeps these controls in one approval path.

Buyer Checklist

Before approving freeze-dried dragon fruit Nutrition Facts, confirm:

• Product variant: red-flesh or white-flesh
• Format: slices, bites, cubes or powder
• Ingredient statement
• Carrier status for powder
• Added sugar status
• Anti-caking agent status
• Serving size
• Servings per container
• Net weight
• Target market
• Applicable product category
• Nutrition Facts or nutrition declaration format
• Lab analysis or calculation basis
• Rounding review
• Pack-size impact
• Artwork version
• Language requirements
• Claims review
• COA and product specification connection
• Retained sample
• Change-control triggers

Do not approve label artwork from a sample panel alone. Approve it from formula, pack size, destination rules and documented nutrition basis.

Summary

Freeze-dried dragon fruit Nutrition Facts must match the exact product formula, format, serving size, pack size and destination market. The supplied sample panel shows 120 kcal, 24 g carbohydrate, 4 g fiber, 12 g sugars, 2 g protein and 510 mg potassium per 28.35 g serving.

A 56.7 g pouch with two servings needs serving-size review for U.S. labeling. EU nutrition declarations use per 100 g or per 100 ml presentation. FruitBuys aligns nutrition data, ingredient files, COA, artwork and private label release.

FAQ

Can buyers reuse the supplied Nutrition Facts panel?

Only after verification. The panel must match the exact product formula, format, pack size and destination market before artwork approval.

What are the approximate values per 100 g?

Based on the supplied panel, 100 g gives about 423 kcal, 84.66 g carbohydrate, 14.11 g fiber, 42.33 g sugars, 7.05 g protein and 1,799 mg potassium.

Does 0 g added sugar prove no sugar was added?

Not alone. The buyer must confirm the ingredient statement, formula and labeling basis before using “no added sugar” language.

Can the same panel work for slices and powder?

Not automatically. Powder may contain carrier or other ingredients, and that can change nutrition values, ingredient declaration and label review.

Is a 56.7 g pouch always two servings in the U.S.?

Not automatically. The buyer must review the applicable RACC, product category and single-serving container rules before approving the panel.

Does Nutrition Facts replace a COA?

No. Nutrition Facts support labeling. A COA supports lot release. Microbiology, residue, moisture and Aw checks remain separate.

Should artwork start before formula approval?

No. Formula, ingredient statement, pack size, serving-size route and destination rules should be approved before artwork is locked.

Conclusion

Submit pack size, formula, destination and artwork route so FruitBuys can review Nutrition Facts inputs before private label approval.
