Nutrition Labels
Nutrition Labels generates a printable, FSSAI-style nutrition facts panel for any recipe — energy, protein, carbohydrates, sugars, fat, saturated fat, fibre and sodium, shown both per 100g and per your chosen serving size — plus an allergen declaration list and an automatically calculated Best Before date from the recipe's shelf life.
Overview
Pick a recipe from your recipe list; the label pulls nutrition figures (calories, protein, carbs, sugars, fat, saturated fat, fibre, sodium) and allergen tags directly from that recipe's stored nutrition/allergen data.
Enter a Serving Size (in grams, or your chosen unit) to see a second "Per Serving" column alongside the standard "Per 100g" column — all per-serving figures are scaled automatically from the per-100g data.
Allergens use FSSAI-compliant display names (Gluten, Milk & Dairy, Eggs, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Soy, Sesame, Fish, Shellfish, Mustard, Celery, Lupin, Molluscs, Sulphites/Sulphur Dioxide) rather than raw internal codes.
If the recipe has a Shelf Life (Days) set and you enter a Batch Date, a Best Before date is calculated and shown automatically on the label.
The finished label is print-ready — designed to be printed and physically attached to packaged items, takeaway containers, or a menu insert wherever nutrition disclosure is required or simply good practice.
Before You Start
- You must have the Nutrition Labels feature enabled on your plan (advanced tier and above).
- A recipe needs its nutrition figures and allergen tags entered in recipe setup before a meaningful label can be generated — a recipe with no nutrition data will show "—" for every value.
Step-by-Step Guide
1 Generate and print a nutrition label
- Open Nutrition Labels and select the recipe you want a label for.
- Enter the Serving Size and unit if you want a per-serving column alongside per-100g.
- Enter the Batch Date if the recipe has a Shelf Life set, so Best Before calculates automatically.
- Review the generated label, then print it.
2 Add missing nutrition data to a recipe first
- If a recipe's label shows all "—" values, go to that recipe's setup and enter its nutrition figures and allergen tags.
- Return to Nutrition Labels and select the recipe again — the label will now populate with real values.
Every Field & Button, Explained
| Field / Button | What it does |
|---|---|
Per 100g / Per Serving columns | Standard nutrition figures per 100g, plus an optional second column scaled to your entered Serving Size. |
Allergen declaration | FSSAI-style allergen names shown for any allergen tagged on the recipe (e.g. Gluten, Tree Nuts, Shellfish). |
Best Before | Automatically calculated as Batch Date + the recipe's Shelf Life (Days), only shown when both are available. |
Energy / Protein / Carbohydrate / Sugars / Fat / Saturated Fat / Fibre / Sodium | The standard nutrition facts fields pulled from the recipe's stored nutrition data. |
Tips & Best Practices
- Keep nutrition and allergen data current on each recipe whenever an ingredient or supplier changes — the label is only as accurate as the underlying recipe data at the moment you generate it.
- Use the Serving Size field consistently across similar products so printed labels are easy for guests to compare.
- Double-check allergen tags carefully for cross-contact ingredients (shared fryers, shared equipment) — this feature declares what's tagged on the recipe, it doesn't infer cross-contact risk automatically.
