## Description

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/

of vitamin C, or thiamine.”

### 󠀁[Not working.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-3684/)󠁿

 [sun4tzu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sun4tzu/) July 4, 2021

Doesn't seem to work correctly with WordPress 5.7.2. Reached out to developer for
guidance and got no response so doesn't seem to be supported anymore either.
