  • LabelCalc can ease your entry into the marketplace. Using preparatory software, LabelCalc creates Nutrition Facts Panels that meet FDA standards.
  • And with the convenience of online access to LabelCalc‘s database time and money are saved, no more costly trips to laboratories, or confusing software to download.
  • You can even increase your revenue and products marketability by adding quality Content Claims such as, “Fat Free” or “Low Sodium.”

Take a moment to read some items that need to be considered when creating a FDA approved label:

  • An ever-evolving list of foods that are a source of Allergen concerns (egg, fish, peanuts, shellfish, wheat, dairy, soy and tree nuts) must now be identified on the product’s packaging. LabelCalc “red flags” any source of Allergen in your product, and allows for modifications to be made.
  • Rounding nutrient values is one of the steps in formulating your Nutrition Facts Panel. Rounding involves the work of translating the results of nutrient analysis to the labeling value for your products.
  • Different rounding rules are applied on different nutrients and/or different concentrations of the same nutrient.
  • The number of servings shall be rounded to the nearest whole number except for the number of servings between 2 and 5 servings. The number of servings between 2 and 5 servings shall be rounded to the nearest 0.5 serving.
  • The nutritional data for Trans Fat brings a new change to the US Facts Panels. This highly significant nutrient must now be made available to consumers when purchasing your products.
  • FDA regulations stipulate a mandatory % Daily Values of nutrient composition based on 2000 calorie diet.
  • % Daily Values enables the consumer to draw comparisons between products and to make better informed choices.
  • The ingredient list is placed on the same label panel as the name and address of the manufacturer, packer or distributor. The ingredient list draws on 2 other requirements:
  • Ingredients are listed in order of predominance by weight.
  • The common or usual name for ingredients must be listed, for instance use the term "sugar" instead of the scientific name "sucrose."
