Food manufacturer
Your recipe-products, label-ready
CalcMenu calculates allergens and nutrition values straight from your formulations. Generate INCO-compliant packaging labels across hundreds of references, with no re-keying.
A solution built for your sector
CalcMenu scales to your operation, from a few dozen to several thousand covers. The goal stays the same: one source of truth for recipes, allergens, and costs.
The recipe becomes a product: compliant labels and exact declarations, at scale.
Industry & brands
Food manufacturers, nutrition brands, vegetable processors and sauce makers turn a recipe into a product that has to carry a substantiated nutritional claim, a compliant label and an exact cost, at scale and across every production line. CalcMenu manages the recipe as a real product record: nutrition to the gram, regulatory label data, and material cost tracked batch by batch, so a formulation change updates every downstream document automatically.
What your teams deal with every day
Packaging labels at scale
Producing compliant labels for every reference is slow and error-prone. CalcMenu generates the full legal declaration from the recipe, ready to print.
Versioning hundreds of recipes
A reformulation touches label, cost and declaration. CalcMenu's history and versioning keep every variant traceable and up to date.
Accurate nutrition declarations
Calculating per-100 g values by hand doesn't survive an audit. CalcMenu computes them automatically from ingredients and production yields.
One product, one recipe, one traceability.
From development formula to customer label, every version is tracked. You launch a new product without fearing a labelling error.

One recipe, thousands of labels: keeping an ERP, CalcMenu, and ingredient declarations in sync
A contract food manufacturer producing to order can't have staff re-typing ingredient lists onto every label by hand. Here's the general pattern for turning a daily ERP order feed into complete, QUID-compliant, multi-language ingredient and allergen labels automatically, every day.
The black octagon: how Latin America declared war on sugar — and what it changed

Ten years later the model covers most of Latin America, purchases of sugary drinks fell measurably, thousands of products were reformulated — and a 2026 Lancet study links the policy to lower child obesity. What the octagon wave means for manufacturers and nutrition brands.
