Use this free WordPress plugin to create Nutrition Facts Labels that includes vitamins.
This plugin creates a ‘Label’ custom post type which can be assigned to any page or post.
- Includes Vitamins D, Calcium, Iron and Potassium
- “Not a Significant source of _____” line will be generated for blank fields
- Add user generated additional vitamins
- Use the shortcode [nutrition-label id=XXX] to display a nutrition label.
- When creating the label you can also specify the page/post and use shortcode [nutrition-label] to display the nutrition label that has been attached to the page/post.
- Developers can add do_shortcode(‘[nutrition-label]’) to their templates.
- For a Bilingual Label see my Canadian Nutrition Facts Label plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/canadian-nutrition-facts-label/
