Three things this does that a template can’t

A

It rounds the way the regulation rounds

Fat below 5 g goes to the nearest 0.5 g, sodium below 140 mg to the nearest 5 mg, cholesterol to 5 mg steps, calories to 5 or 10. Values under the thresholds become “0 g” or “less than 1 g” — and the two % DV rulebooks are kept apart.

B

It knows the package can be too small

Under 40 sq in the type may be reduced; under 12 sq in a vertical panel often will not fit at all, and the linear format is what the regulation provides. Both are one click.

C

It hands the printer a real file

Vector text at the trim size, 1/8″ bleed, crop marks, no bitmaps. The file that comes out is the file a shop can plate — not a screenshot of a panel.

What this tool is, and what it is not

The panel is generated from USDA FoodData Central values using the rounding, ordering and type-size rules of 21 CFR 101.9. Nutrient values are calculated from ingredient weights — so the accuracy of the label is the accuracy of the recipe you enter.

It does not verify claims (“organic”, “high fiber”), it does not produce the ingredient statement, and it is not a substitute for your own regulatory review before printing. Everything runs in your browser: no recipe ever leaves the machine.

Made for the food you actually make

Jams, salsas & sauces

Small-batch jars with real ingredient lists. Set the serving by the tablespoon or the jar — the gram weight comes from the batch, not a guess.

Home bakeries

Slices, loaves and cookies sold by the piece. Enter the batch once, divide by servings, and every panel matches what is actually in the bag.

Cottage food sellers

State cottage-food rules are tightening, and retailers ask for a compliant panel before they will shelve you. Start free, print the day you mix.

Questions people ask before printing

Is it really free?

Yes. The 2.5″ vertical panel exports as a real, print-ready PDF with a small watermark — no account, no card, no trial clock. The $79 one-time upgrade removes the watermark and unlocks 3″ and 4″ widths, the linear format and free updates.

Do I need to send my product to a lab?

No. Values are calculated from your recipe using USDA FoodData Central data. Database analysis is the standard route for small producers; a lab panel ($300–800 per sample) is only usually needed for claims testing or when a customer contract requires it.

Does the FDA review or approve my label?

No. FDA does not pre-approve nutrition labels — compliance is checked if your product is examined after sale. What matters is that the panel follows 21 CFR 101.9: rounding, ordering, format and type sizes. This tool applies those rules automatically.

What sizes and formats can I export?

2.5″, 3″ and 4″ panel widths, vertical or the small-package linear format, with 1/8″ bleed and crop marks. Vector text throughout — any print shop can use the file at any size.

Where are my recipes stored?

In your browser, on your computer. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and the page even keeps working offline once loaded. Your formulations stay yours.

Does it make the ingredient statement or allergen list?

Not yet. The nutrition panel is generated; you write the ingredient statement separately. Allergen declarations remain your responsibility to verify against your actual ingredients.
