Entre os diversos constituintes dos rótulos de produtos alimentícios, tem-se a tabela nutricional, a qual oferece a declaração detalhada de nutrientes contidos no alimento. Trata-se de uma complexa organização visual de dados, que envolve elementos como bordas, guias, tipos e cores. Este artigo aborda sob o ponto de vista do design as regulamentações de seis países do continente americano para a formatação de tabelas nutricionais e discute a articulação de elementos gráficos com base na literatura. Dessa maneira, busca-se identificar e comparar padrões na apresentação de informações nutricionais para definir uma perspectiva internacional acerca do assunto. Conhecer exemplos e experiências de diferentes países constitui um caminho para formular estratégias que embasem o design de modelos direcionados a atender às necessidades informacionais das pessoas.
