The values on a nutrition facts label can sometimes differ slightly from the nutrition breakdown due to regulatory- rounding rules for each nutrient. The FDA allows for rounding of nutrient values to ensure consistency. For example, nutrients present in small amounts may be rounded to the nearest whole number, while those in larger amounts are typically rounded to the nearest tenth. This helps prevent overly precise values on food labels.

For more information on FDA rounding rules and related regulations, you can visit the following blog link for reference: FDA Rounding Rules.

The FDA mandates that packaged food items must clearly indicate the presence of major food allergens on their product packaging.

These major allergens comprise Milk, Egg, Fish, Crustacean shellfish, Tree nuts, Wheat, Peanuts, Soybeans and Sesame.

Our smart search algorithm, Food Label Maker, automatically identifies the allergens that go with your recipe using our smart algorithm.

 However, you can absolutely edit your allergens statement by clicking on the “Customize Label” section, then “Edit Ingredients/Allergens List” to edit your allergens according to your recipe.

PDCAAS stands for Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score. It’s a method of evaluating the quality of a protein based on both its amino acid profile and its digestibility. PDCAAS is used to determine the nutritional value of a protein in human nutrition.

The score ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 being the highest quality protein. PDCAAS takes into account both the essential amino acid content of a protein and how easily the body can digest it. This score helps in assessing the protein’s ability to meet the body’s amino acid requirements.

PDCAAS is commonly used in food labelling and dietary guidelines to indicate the protein quality of different foods.  Foods with a PDCAAS score of 1 are considered to provide a complete and balanced source of essential amino acids.

To be able to make a protein claim, it is crucial to know the PDCAAS of your recipe so you are able to accurately present the percent daily value of protein and make a correct protein claim.

Sugar alcohols, or polyols, are low-calorie sweeteners used as sugar substitutes in various foods. They occur naturally in some fruits and are often produced from sugars and starches. Examples include xylitol, erythritol, and sorbitol. Sugar alcohols provide sweetness with fewer calories than sucrose and are commonly used in sugar-free products. They have a reduced impact on blood sugar but can cause digestive issues in large quantities.

To display Sugar Alcohols on your label, follow these steps: 

• Click on “Customise Label”
• Then select Show/Hide Nutrients. 
• Enable the sugar alcohol icon button by moving the toggle to your right 

* After turning it on, you can scroll down and specify the name of your sugar alcohol (optional).

As per the FDA, showing sugar alcohol on your label is only required if you are making a claim about Sugar Alcohol, Total Sugar, or Added Sugar on your label. If your recipe contains more than 1 type of sugar alcohol, then the nutrient name on the label should read Sugar Alcohol. However, if your recipe contains only one type of sugar alcohol, then you can change the nutrient name to show the specific sugar alcohol name i.e.. Sorbitol, Lactitol, Erythritol….etc.”

As per the Canadian regulations (CFIA) , if Sugar Alcohols are present in a food, their total content must be declared in the Nutrition Facts table.
