How Food Trace works
Food Trace uses the McCance & Widdowson food composition database the UK's most comprehensive nutritional reference to calculate values automatically from your product ingredient data.
Enter your product ingredients and quantities into the Food Trace Recipe Builder and the system calculates a full nutritional breakdown instantly covering energy (kJ and kcal), protein, fat, saturated fat, carbohydrate, sugars, fibre, sodium and more. Values are normalised per 100g and calculated per serving size, ready for front-of-pack labelling and nutritional declarations.
Every nutritional calculation in Food Trace is exportable as a CSV with a single click ready to feed into your front-of-pack labelling workflow, nutritional declarations, retailer portals or point-of-sale systems. With calorie labelling now mandatory for large out-of-home food businesses in England, Food Trace ensures your nutritional data is always accurate, current and audit-ready.
