a la calc overview

What is a la calc?

a la calc is a cloud-based nutrition analysis and food label generation platform which allows users to create UK and EU-compliant food labels for their food products. The platform offers built-in UK and US standard nutrient databases, real-time nutritional analysis, RDA and GDA calculations, cost breakdowns, and more.

With a la calc, users can rapidly generate product nutritional information, labels, and cost breakdowns for all of their recipes. More than 12000 ingredients are available in the included UK standard McCance and Widdowson nutrient database, and custom ingredients can be added to cover any gaps. Notes, pictures, and tags can be attached to recipes to simplify finding and re-creating products. Costs can also be specified for each ingredient to provide full cost breakdowns for each recipe.

a la calc instantly provides full nutritional analyses for recipes, including quantitative ingredients declaration (QUID), guideline daily amounts (GDAs), recommended daily allowances (RDAs), and allergen components. Traffic light labeling is supported, with all product labels generated in compliance with FSA-mandated regulations. Nutritional analyses can be exported in spreadsheet format, and users can download their product labels for postprocessing or printing.

Key benefits of using a la calc

• Both Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) and Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs) are calculated as part of a la calc’s nutritional analysis, based on the UK standard McCance and Widdowson nutrient database.

• Users can define their own special ingredients with custom nutritional values, allowing the creation of recipes with ingredients not found in the standard database.

• Notes, images, and tags can be added to recipes to assist users in locating, managing, and re-creating products.

• Labels generated in a la calc are FSA-compliant, enabling the instant creation of UK/EU standard typical values and front-of-pack labels.

• Quantitative Ingredients Declaration (QUID) information is generated automatically for all products and recipes, and a la calc also carries out analysis for allergens.
