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.

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.

For more information on serving sizes you can find the resources for each market here:
