Question 1

Do bakeries need to provide Nutrition Facts on packaged goods?

Accepted Answer

In the US, all packaged food sold at retail — including baked goods from bakeries — must carry a Nutrition Facts label under FDA 21 CFR 101. Exemptions exist for very small businesses (under $50,000 annual food sales) and for foods sold in small quantities directly to consumers. In the EU, pre-packed baked goods require a nutritional declaration under EU FIC 1169/2011. In the UK, Canada, and Australia, similar requirements apply. NutriCalcPro generates the correct format for each region.

Question 2

How do I enter a recipe that uses weight measurements?

Accepted Answer

NutriCalcPro accepts both metric (grams, millilitres) and imperial (ounces, cups) measurements. Enter each ingredient by its baked-into weight or pre-baking weight — you can specify which. The system calculates nutrition per serving based on the yield (finished product weight or unit count) you set.

Question 3

Can NutriCalcPro handle custom ingredients like my house sourdough starter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create custom ingredients with your own nutrition values for items not in our database — house starters, custom blends, proprietary glazes, or fillings. Custom ingredients are saved to your account and can be reused across multiple recipes.

Question 4

What allergens does NutriCalcPro detect for bakery products?

Accepted Answer

NutriCalcPro detects all 14 EU FIC mandatory allergens (including wheat/gluten, eggs, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, sesame, and sulphites) and all 9 FDA major food allergens. For bakeries, the critical ones are automatically flagged: wheat/gluten (in flour, semolina), eggs, dairy (butter, cream, milk powder), tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans), soy (lecithin, soy flour), and sesame (sesame seeds, tahini).

Question 5

What if I change a recipe — do I need to redo the label?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it only takes seconds. Update the ingredient quantity in your saved recipe and NutriCalcPro recalculates the Nutrition Facts and allergen report instantly. Re-export the updated label file. This is especially important for allergen compliance — even minor recipe changes can affect the allergen declaration.

Question 6

Can I export labels that are ready for my packaging printer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Expert plan users can export labels as SVG (scalable vector graphics), which is the format required by most commercial packaging printers. Maker plan users get high-resolution PDF and PNG exports. SVG ensures your label is crisp at any print size — essential for small-format bakery packaging.
