Generating nutrition facts label with Food Label Maker is quick and straightforward! To ensure accuracy and compliance, you'll need a few key details about your recipe.
Required Information:
1. Ingredients List
Provide a complete list of all the ingredients used in your recipe, including minor ingredients like spices, preservatives, and additives. This ensures accurate nutrient calculations and precise allergen detection.
2. Ingredient Quantities
Enter the precise quantity or weight of each ingredient. Using standard units (grams, ounces, cups, etc.) helps the system accurately determine nutritional values.
3. Recipe Yield
Specify the final weight of your recipe batch before and after cooking, baking, or processing. Keep in mind this may change due to processing or moisture loss. Additionally, include the total recipe yield, which refers to the total amount produced by the recipe, and the net weight of the final product after preparation. When creating labels for specific container sizes (like half-pint or full pint), adjust the total recipe yield to match the required weight in grams for each container size to ensure accurate nutritional information.
4. Serving Size (Optional)
Some regulatory bodies (e.g., FDA, CFIA) require a serving size, which defines the typical portion a consumer would eat. If applicable, enter this value based on your market’s guidelines. Note that FDA compliance requires displaying nutritional values per serving size of the product, not per 100g.
For more information on serving sizes you can find the resources for each market here:
