ReciPal generates a complete nutritional breakdown based on your recipe. No lab, no nutritionist, no formulas to memorize.
Type or paste in your recipe. ReciPal's AI Jumpstart automatically matches each item to ingredients in our database. Quantities and units are detected and set automatically.
ReciPal calculates calories, macros, fiber, sugar, sodium, and vitamins and minerals. See how each ingredient contributes, so you can make informed formulation decisions.
Export your finalized Nutrition Facts panel as a PDF, PNG, or embed code. The label is print-ready and formatted to FDA or CFIA standards.
ReciPal calculates more than just calories. Here is what sets our nutrition analysis software apart from basic nutrient calculators.
Accurate nutrition analysis starts with a reliable database. ReciPal gives you access to the full USDA nutrient dataset plus 10+ years of custom created ingredients.
In the rare case that an ingredient is not available, you can create your own custom ingredient using ReciPal's AI import to extracct nutrient values directly from a spec sheet or label image.
As you add and adjust ingredients, ReciPal generates your Nutrition Facts panel in real time and all nutrition reports. Every change updates the results immediately.
ReciPal doesn't just give you a finished label -- it gives you the math behind it.
The nutrient breakdown report shows exactly how each ingredient contributes to every nutrient. You can see at a glance which ingredients are driving your sodium count or where your protein is coming from.
Cooked and processed ingredients don't weigh the same as raw ones. ReciPal lets you apply a yield factor or moisture loss percentage. You can also account for trim loss and other unusable portions to ensure your label reflects your process.
This information flows through to the nutrition calculations automatically, giving you an accurate label for the finished product.
“So many of our small businesses struggle to get nutrition labels done, this is a much needed resource that we'll be incorporating into our curriculum.”
Leticia Program Developer, La Cocina Incubator
“I wish I had known about this earlier! I just wasted $160 getting my nutritionals done!”

Nutrition analysis software calculates the nutrient content of a recipe or food product based on its ingredients. You enter your ingredients and quantities, and the software references a database of known nutrient values to produce a complete nutritional breakdown. The output includes calories, macronutrients (fat, protein, carbohydrates), fiber, sugars, sodium, and the vitamins and minerals required on an FDA Nutrition Facts label.
ReciPal uses this calculation to generate a print-ready, FDA-compliant Nutrition Facts panel directly from your recipe. You can also export a detailed nutrient breakdown report showing the contribution of each ingredient to the total which is useful for recipe development, reformulation, and making nutrient content claims.
Database nutritional analysis works by matching each ingredient in your recipe to a reference value in a nutrient database. The USDA maintains the most widely used database for this purpose, listing nutrient values per 100 grams for thousands of raw and processed food items. ReciPal looks up each ingredient, scales the values to the quantity you specified, and sums the contributions across all ingredients to produce a per-serving and per-package nutrient total.
If an ingredient is not in the database, you can create a custom entry using supplier spec sheet data. Use ReciPal's AI extraction tool to import nutrient values from a photo or PDF of a spec sheet or existing label. Once added, the custom ingredient behaves exactly like any other database ingredient in your analysis.
Database analysis is accepted by the FDA. The FDA recognizes two methods for determining nutrient values on a Nutrition Facts label: laboratory testing and database analysis. Database analysis using the USDA nutrient database is widely used and legally compliant for generating labels sold in the US.
Lab testing is significantly more expensive, and is typically used for products where nutrient levels are highly variable, or where specific health claims require verified data. Most food entrepreneurs and small manufacturers use database analysis. If you have questions about which method is right for your product, ReciPal offers access to expert nutrition label consultants who can advise you.
ReciPal can generate extremely accurate nutrition analysis. We offer reliable ingredient nutrition information from the USDA database and support custom ingredient creation. Additionally, we make it easy to capture what happens during product processing. Ultimately, the level of accuracy depends on the quality of underlying ingredients and the precision with which the product's processing is captured. Database analysis is a widely used FDA-approved method of creating nutrition labels and ReciPal provides one of the most accurate software tools on the market.
Start with your raw ingredient weights and quantities. Then enter what the recipe actually yields and ReciPal will automatically account for the moisture loss. You can also set waste percentages for ingredients to account for portions that don't end up in the final product.
This gives you a Nutrition Facts label that reflects the product as it actually comes out of production, not the raw ingredients going in.
You have two options. The first is to create a custom ingredient manually by entering the nutrient values from your supplier's spec sheet or from an existing product label.
The second option is to use ReciPal's AI ingredient import tool, which can extract nutrient data from a photo or PDF of a spec sheet or label and populate a custom ingredient automatically. Custom ingredients are private to your account and can be reused across any recipe. Once created, they behave exactly like database ingredients in your analysis and on your Nutrition Facts label.
