Every label starts with the right ingredient.
Pick ingredients from a shared database with nutrition and allergens, or add your own. Labels, SOPs and costing all read the same record.

Why does an ingredient database matter for food labels?
A nutrition label is only as accurate as its ingredients. A shared ingredient database holds each ingredient's nutrition per 100 g and its allergens, so labels calculate the same way every time and allergens are never missed.
Why one ingredient library
Allergens never missed
Allergen flags travel from the ingredient to every label and SOP.
Consistent nutrition
Every product uses the same per-100 g values.
Ready for the Gulf
Translated names give you Arabic ingredient lists.
