Key facts
When to use a Supplement Facts label for pregnant women
Nutrition labeling is mandatory for dietary supplements under 21 CFR 101.36, in force, unless an exemption applies. When a supplement is represented or purported specifically for pregnant women, such as a prenatal vitamin, its % Daily Values must use the reference values for that group, not the default values for adults and children 4 years and older.
The % Daily Value column heading must state clearly that it applies to pregnant women, which is mandatory. If the product is represented for pregnant women and another group with different values, separate % Daily Value columns for each group are mandatory.
"Prenatal" is not a separate legal format. It is the standard Supplement Facts panel, with pregnancy reference values and a heading that names the group.

Pregnancy Daily Values on a prenatal vitamin label
The reference values in force under 21 CFR 101.9(c)(8) have one column headed "Pregnant women and lactating women", and a pregnancy supplement uses that column.
A few nutrients show why the panel looks different from an adult one:
- iron: 27 mg, against 18 mg for adults and children 4 years and older;
- folate: 600 mcg DFE, against 400 mcg DFE; and
- iodine: 290 mcg, against 150 mcg.
When folate is declared, the name "Folate" and units of mcg DFE are mandatory. If folic acid is added or a claim is made about it, the amount of folic acid must also be declared, in parentheses, in mcg.

Supplement Facts panel format under 21 CFR 101.36
The pregnancy panel uses the standard supplement layout, which is mandatory: the title "Supplement Facts" in bold and larger than all other print, then "Serving Size", then "Servings Per Container" unless the net quantity already gives it, then amounts per serving and % Daily Values.
Dietary ingredients with a reference value are declared when present above the amount that can be declared as zero. Ingredients without one, such as DHA in many prenatal products, are listed by amount with a symbol linking to "Daily Value not established".
The panel is boxed, uses the prescribed heavy and light rules, and on ordinary packages uses text of at least 8 point, with column headings and footnotes at least 6 point.

Iron warning and other prenatal supplement label requirements
Most prenatal vitamins contain iron, which brings a mandatory warning. Under 21 CFR 101.17(e), in force, a supplement in solid oral dosage form containing iron or iron salts as an iron source must carry this exact statement:
"WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately."
The warning must be prominent and conspicuous on the information panel of the immediate container, set off in a box by hairlines, and repeated on the retail package if that is different.
Other mandatory label elements include the words "dietary supplement" or an equivalent, net quantity, the business name and place, ingredients not declared in the panel, and a domestic address or phone number for adverse event reports. English is mandatory under 21 CFR 101.15(c), with the Puerto Rico and territory exception, and any foreign-language representation means all required information must also appear in that language.
