Frequently asked questions

Why do you need a nutrition label?

If you're in the food industry, you may be wondering who needs nutritional facts. Two rules cover most packaged food products:

Nutrient claims. This is the number one rule that requires nutrition facts labeling. If you make any nutrient claim on your package label or website -- "high in fiber," "low fat," and the like -- you have to include nutrition facts, even if you would otherwise meet an exemption.
Retail sales thresholds. Retailers with more than $50,000 of food sales and more than $500,000 of total sales are required to have nutrition labels. This rule covers both your own business and any business that sells your product, so if you want to be in almost any grocery store, you'll need nutrition facts labels.

Many food companies start providing nutrition facts on their labels before they are required. It's good practice, it provides a layer of transparency for your customers, and it just seems like the right thing to do. Using nutrition labeling software like ReciPal can make this process easy by allowing you to input ingredients yourself or working with a labeling expert.

How do you make a nutrition label?

Creating a nutrition label is easy when using nutrition labeling software. To create a nutrition label with ReciPal, you can access our free nutrition label templates to easily input nutrient information if you already have it, or use our nutrition analysis software if you have a recipe and ingredients but don't yet have the nutrition data. Even if you’re unable to conduct your own nutrient analysis, one of our experts can walk you through it and/or review your nutrition facts label to ensure it meets all label requirements.

How much does it cost to make a nutrition label?

You can access ReciPal’s nutrition label software at three different price points:

Single Serving: $29 per recipe
Business: $59 per month
Business Plus: $129 per month

By creating a free account, you’ll get full access to make a recipe/label and see just how easy it is to use ReciPal. Get started now!

Can I switch to ReciPal from other nutrition labeling software?

Yes. Food businesses can rebuild their recipes quickly in ReciPal, which usually takes minutes per product rather than hours. Paste a recipe into our nutrition analysis software and AI Jumpstart matches your ingredients automatically, or add your own private ingredients from an existing spec sheet or nutrition label. If you have a lot of recipes, our API can load ingredients, recipes, and costs programmatically. We also offer full-service migrations from select platforms.

ReciPal applies current FDA and CFIA formatting and rounding rules. If you'd like a second set of eyes, one of our labeling experts can review your labels after the switch.
