Recipe Nutrition Analysis
Susan can provide a nutritional breakdown of recipes for use in PR, publications, on websites, food packaging and menus. Susan’s focus when analysing recipes is on accuracy and best practice, supported by detailed documentation.
Nutrition Labelling
The majority of prepacked foods must now display nutritional information and Susan provides a cost-effective nutrition calculation service suitable for most foods.
