Nutritional Information Solutions is a commercial division of the QIB Extra. With over forty years of experience supporting food producers worldwide. As part of our work through the Food & Nutrition National Bioscience Research Infrastructure (F&N -NBRI) who maintain and endorses the UK government's official McCance and Widdowson’s Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID), we provide a service to generate nutritional recipe labels for the UK Food Industry (especially SMEs).
The EU Food Information Regulations (EU 1169/2011) mandate nutritional information on food products, including energy, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, and salt. Our dataset is legally endorsed for use in calculating accurate labelling nutritional information required by legislation, as “generally established and accepted data” (Technical guidance on nutrition labelling, DHSC).
Affordable and Accurate Solutions
Nutritional recipe labels are calculated using F&N–NBRI’s 2021 labelling dataset, which was established to help food manufacturers, dietitians, nutritionists, software and app producers create the nutrition information for food products and recipes. Nutritional Information Solutions can complete the nutritional calculations of recipes for you, helping you navigate the data and producing back-of-packet recipe labels and traffic lights to use on your product.
Our recipe calculation services start at £50.00 plus VAT—a fraction of laboratory analysis costs, with the option to include traffic lights label for an additional £10.00 plus VAT. Our service covers most recipes (excluding fried foods); we support you throughout the process, explaining results and advising on label layout, vitamin details, and more.
Or, for greater flexibility, try our self-calculation service for just
£16.00 per month plus VAT. This system, developed in collaboration with
Nutritics, is used for nutrition labelling in over one hundred and twenty countries.
