Creating a fully compliant and customized nutrition label is simple with Food Label Maker. We offer two ways to create labels: use our self-service software or hire our experts for guaranteed compliance. Whether you're labeling products for the US, Canada, EU, UK, Australia, New Zealand, or beyond, you can follow these steps to get started with our software or contact us about expert services.
Additionally, for businesses spanning multiple countries, Food Label Maker ensures compliance by enabling the creation of labels tailored to each country's regulations.
🔹 Step 1: Set Up Your Recipe
Start by entering your recipe name, selecting a category, and defining the serving size. Make sure to specify whether your recipe is a solid or liquid—this ensures the correct label format is applied. Additionally, include precise ingredient quantities for accurate nutrition calculations, ensuring consistent calorie content in generated labels.
🔹 Step 2: Build Your Recipe
Use the Recipe Builder to search and add ingredients from our growing, nutritionist-verified ingredient database. The system also automatically calculates calorie content and other nutritional details as you add ingredients, making manual calculations unnecessary.
The Food Label Maker system streamlines the calculation process by automatically determining calorie content, macronutrients, and other nutrition facts based on your input. This ensures both accuracy and time efficiency, allowing you to focus on perfecting your recipe.
Can’t find an ingredient?
No problem! Use the Custom Ingredients section to add your own. Once saved, your custom ingredients will be available for all future recipes.
🔹 Step 3: Get Instant Results
As you build your recipe, your Nutrition Facts Label updates in real time. Preview your labels to ensure all details align with regional regulations before finalizing. This includes automatic calorie calculations and updates, helping to ensure complete compliance and accuracy with minimal effort.
Allergens are automatically detected using our integrated allergen scanner.
An Ingredient Statement List is automatically generated in descending order by weight, following regulatory guidelines.
