Calculating nutritional content just got easier.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has launched a ‘how to’ video to guide users of the online Nutrition Panel Calculator (NPC). This video is the first in a series of 4 to be released over the coming months.
The tool calculates the nutrient content of recipes and generates a Nutrition Information Panel (NIP) for product labels.
The Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code (the Code) outlines that most pre-packaged food products for retail consumption in Australia and New Zealand must accurately display nutrition information on the packet.
To help food businesses meet these requirements, FSANZ developed the NPC as a simple, cost-effective method to determine the contents of their products.
It is also a great resource for dietitians, regulators, caterers and consumers who want to better understand the contents of recipes.
The new video guide explains how to generate a NIP in 3 easy steps – enter ingredients, enter amounts and generate the panel.
The NPC is freely available to the public and one of the most popular features on the FSANZ website.
