NutriCalc vs Analysis
- David F. Bartley

Are you aware that calculation is a recognised method for nutrition labelling?
So how does NutriCalc compare with laboratory analysis?
Nutrition Calculation can be used for most foods*
But what about accuracy?
At NutriCalc we believe that there are three golden rules:
- Apply only to suitable food processes (e.g. not deep fried)
- Use good, accurate data
- Avoid human error (checking should be a routine)
Providing these rules are followed, NutriCalc will give good, accurate values.
And because of our background and perspective on both analysis and calculation, we will advise you and offer you our expert support to achieve the best quality results possible for your recipes.
If you’re not sure whether your products are suitable, with absolute integrity, if we don’t think calculation is appropriate, we’ll tell you.
In summary then, for some products like deep-fried foods, analysis is the only way to obtain complete results. Having said that, it is often possible to use a combination of some analysis and some calculated results to achieve accuracy.
Providing you use good quality data, you can achieve excellent results from NutriCalc for the vast majority of both raw and cooked foods.
