How to Make a Nutrition Facts Label Without a Lab
Build an FDA-format Nutrition Facts label from your recipe and a nutrient database: what FDA allows, serving sizes, rounding, and a worked cookie example.
Food Business Management Software: Every Feature
KitchenSync is food business management software for recipes, costing and labels. Every feature below is on every plan; plans differ only in how many recipes you can keep.
Recipes
-
Keep every recipe in one searchable library, with ingredient sections, photos, tags, written instructions, weights or volumes, and autosave on every edit.
-
Make a linked copy of a recipe to test a change, keep the original untouched, and mark the version you sell as primary.
-
Use a dough, sauce or spice blend as an ingredient in other recipes; its cost, nutrition and ingredients carry into each one.
-
Calculate calories, macros and micronutrients for a recipe from USDA FoodData Central. See a macro chart per serving and % Daily Value for your products.
Costing
-
Record prices from every supplier you buy from. KitchenSync compares them by unit price and uses the lowest one for each ingredient.
-
See the batch cost of each recipe and its cost per gram, ounce, pound or kilogram, worked out from your ingredient prices.
-
A free calculator for cost per serving and food cost percentage. It runs in your browser before you sign up and saves nothing.
Labels
-
Generate FDA Nutrition Facts labels from a recipe in vertical, dual column or linear format, preview them live and export a PNG.
