Frequently asked questions
Everything small food businesses ask us about FDA nutrition labels.
Do I need a Nutrition Facts label?
Most packaged foods sold at retail in the US require one. Small businesses under certain sales thresholds can claim an FDA exemption — but many retailers require a label anyway, and it builds credibility.
Is a database-calculated label acceptable to the FDA?
Yes — labels calculated from ingredient nutrient data are how the majority of labels on store shelves are made. Lab analysis is generally only recommended for products like deep-fried foods.
How fast will I get my label?
Self-serve: instantly. Expert service: 3–5 business days standard, with 2-day and next-day expedited options.
What if I change my recipe later?
Self-serve customers revise and regenerate anytime. Expert packages include two free revisions.
Is my recipe confidential?
Yes. Self-serve recipes stay in your account. Expert service is covered by our standing NDA — see the Non-Disclosure page.
What files do I receive?
Print-ready PDF, SVG (vector), and PNG at any resolution your printer requests.
