Nutrition Labelling
Our Database & Labelling Technology
The Food Development Centre uses Genesis® R&D SQL, a nutrition analysis software program designed by ESHA Research. This software provides Nutrition Facts Table (NFT) formats that can be bilingual, standard, horizontal and linear for both Canada and the U.S.
The Genesis® database has over 26,000 food and food item entries from a variety of food groups including specialty items, fast foods, frozen foods, and combination foods and cooking ingredients to achieve your product's nutrient content claims.
