The problem
Genesis R&D costs $5,000-10,000/year. ReciPal and Food Label Maker charge $49-59/month. Free label makers require you to already know your nutrition values. There is no free tool that actually calculates nutrition from your recipe.
- Genesis R&D costs $5,000-10,000/year and requires a Windows desktop — overkill for a startup with 3 products
- Free label generators like ePackageSupply require you to manually enter every nutrient value — but you need software to calculate those values in the first place
- Every recipe change means recalculating nutrition, re-checking allergens, reformatting the label, and re-verifying FDA rounding rules
- RACC serving size lookup takes hours of cross-referencing 21 CFR 101.12 tables to find your product category and correct household measure
- One missed allergen declaration is a recall. Manually checking every ingredient for the 9 major allergens across every formulation is error-prone and terrifying
What it does
Recipe-to-Label Calculation
Enter ingredients with quantities in any unit. Nutrition per serving is calculated automatically from the USDA FoodData Central database — no manual nutrient entry required.
Complete FDA Rounding Rules
Every nutrient rounded per 21 CFR 101.9 — calories to nearest 10 above 50 cal, fat to nearest 0.5g below 5g, sodium to nearest 5mg below 140mg. All 15+ mandatory nutrients handled correctly.
RACC Serving Size Lookup
Type your product description and get the correct RACC category, reference amount, and household measure from 21 CFR 101.12. No more digging through FDA tables.
Automatic Allergen Detection
Every ingredient scanned for the 9 major FDA allergens including sesame (FASTER Act, 2023). Generates a formatted Contains statement and flags allergen changes when you modify your recipe.
Ingredient Statement Generation
Ingredients auto-sorted in descending order by weight per 21 CFR 101.4. Sub-ingredient declarations, FDA naming conventions, and allergen parentheticals all handled.
Nutrition Facts Panel Export
Generate standard vertical, tabular, linear, and simplified panel formats. Export as PDF, PNG, or SVG ready for your label printer or co-packer.
Calculation Transparency
Expand any nutrient to see per-ingredient contributions, pre-rounding values, and the specific FDA rounding rule applied with its CFR citation. Verify every number.
USDA FoodData Central Integration
Search across 300,000+ foods in the USDA database — SR Legacy, Foundation, and Branded Foods. Smart disambiguation matches common recipe terms to the right database entry.
