Hey Yodl’ers,
This topic came up in our recent New Member Meetup so I thought I’d start a thread about it as a future reference.
1. What nutrition labelling software have you used and can recommend? Looking for options that ship with a robust database of raw ingredients, or even standalone ingredient databases that could be paired with Excel to crunch numbers in a simple way.
2. Also looking for translation service reco’s for ingredient listings.
Thanks in advance!

Esha/Genesis R&D is pretty good but pricey. Pricing from last year attached. The canada label module/add on can generate Canada compliant bilingual NFTs.

Hello Lavina (and everyone else ;-)),
If by chance you are looking for information on food product labelling for EUROPE, Zèbre Stratégie specialises in this service. We have a full department that handles this:
- ingredient verification,
- nutrition table
- label creation
- packaging design
etc
After working for 20 years in the agri-food industry in Europe, we now offer our services in Canada.
I myself hold a master’s degree in European law and act as a CETA specialist with the Embassy of France, Belgium, and the European Commission in Canada.
So don’t hesitate to contact us!!! 
… for labels or anything else related to exports to Europe.
Looking forward to it
Thanks all for your insights and @Lavina Gully for starting this topic. I have been following this thread as it related to an industry report on food labels we are preparing for January 2023. @Nawaz Ahmed, @Tarryn Gorre, @Pina Romolo as #ingredient supplier, food #technologist, and #manufacturer, respectively, what are the features and functionalities you value the most, dislike and miss in the labeling software solutions you use today?

We have just received a ridiculous increase notice of over 500% from Trustwell (which now owns Genesis).
Is it the same on your end?
This brings me back to this question: what other software do you use for nutritional value calculations and creating your Nutri tables (Canada AND USA)? We are looking for a calculation tool recognised by the FDA, which has a large nutritional database and offers some flexibility regarding the nutritional data to include in the tables (e.g., adding a non-mandatory nutrient).
Ideally... an API functionality would be a plus.
Thank you in advance.
