Check nutrition and allergens from your recipe.
Match your ingredients to nutrient sources and review their allergen information. See per-portion nutrition, missing information and a printable estimate. Your kitchen still needs to review the food and its suitability for each guest.

Captured CostCook recipe
Sunday night should not start two new spreadsheets.
A customer asks how much protein is in the bowl and whether it contains milk. When those answers live apart from the recipe, one ingredient change makes both old.
The same ingredient line should carry the cost, the nutrient source, and the allergen evidence.
Nutrition facts that stop where the source stops.
Match an ingredient to the USDA profile that fits its state. CostCook carries that source through sub-recipes, quantities, and portions into the dish.
- Serving basis
- Per portion or per batch
- Headline values
- Calories, protein, carbs, fat
- Full panel
- Fifteen Nutrition Facts nutrients
- Missing evidence
- Partial or incomplete, never zeroed
An allergen tag needs more than a familiar ingredient name.
CostCook records evidence on the ingredient, rolls reviewed tags through every recipe that uses it, and leaves incomplete review visible all the way to pack-out.
- 01
Evidence enters
A supplier record, package label, or kitchen review names what is known.
- 02
The ingredient carries it
Fourteen allergen tags stay attached to the ingredient rather than its name.
- 03
The recipe rolls it up
Dishes include their ingredient and sub-recipe allergens, with incomplete review still visible.
- 04
The pack list shows it
Allergen badges reach pack-out, where the kitchen needs the answer.
A curated catalog fact may help, but a name match never invents food-safety data. A chef override needs a written reason, and no screen makes an allergen-free claim.
The sheet carries the answer and its limits.

Four boundaries stay in view
- The estimate is not a retail-label compliance claim, and the printed sheet says so.
- CostCook detects, it never certifies. Halal and kosher can only ever come back as a check. Slaughter and certification are facts the app cannot see.
- The ingredient statement is in recipe order, not a regulatory weight order.
- A label printer integration is being built and carries no date. Today the sheet prints from the browser.
Nutrition factsCalculate the panel from the recipe.+
- Computed per recipe. All fifteen nutrients an FDA label carries, rolled up through sub-recipes to the dish.
- USDA profiles. Nutrient data comes from USDA FoodData Central and attaches to the ingredient.
- Partial is said out loud. A missing profile or a missing conversion reports the dish as partial rather than totalling an incomplete recipe.
- Printed from the recipe. Print nutrition label makes a sheet with the kitchen name, the panel, the ingredient statement, the allergen line and the print time, for the browser to put on label stock. The sheet says it is a calculated estimate, not a retail-label compliance claim.
Allergen managementCarry reviewed ingredient evidence into the kitchen.+
- Allergens. Fourteen-allergen tagging rolls up to every recipe, with chef overrides that require a written reason.
- Allergens at pack-out. Pack lists carry allergen badges.
Frequently asked questions
The source, missing-value, printing, and food-safety questions worth settling first.
What is nutrition facts software?
It calculates the nutrients in a recipe from its ingredient quantities and source profiles. CostCook shows four headline macros and the fifteen values carried by a Nutrition Facts panel, per portion or batch, on the recipe you already costed.
Where does CostCook get nutrient values?
You match each ingredient to a USDA FoodData Central profile, including the raw, cooked, or prepared state that fits. That source stays attached to the ingredient and rolls through sub-recipes into the dish.
What happens when a nutrient value is missing?
CostCook leaves the value blank and names the missing profile or conversion. It reports a partial or incomplete result instead of counting the missing value as zero or presenting an incomplete dish as complete.
How does CostCook track allergens?
Fourteen allergen tags live on ingredients and roll up through sub-recipes into recipes and pack lists. The evidence comes from a supplier record, a package label, or a kitchen review. A chef override requires a written reason.
Does CostCook make an allergen-free or compliance claim?
No. Unreviewed ingredients remain visible, and the recipe does not claim to be allergen-free. The printed nutrition sheet also says it is a calculated estimate, not a retail-label regulatory compliance claim.
Can I print a nutrition label today?
Yes. Print nutrition label opens a browser-printable sheet from the recipe, ready for label stock. A direct label-printer integration is still in development and carries no release date.
Print the answer. Keep the evidence.
