Custom Ingredient Database

Manage your own Ingredients

Create ingredient information manually, following recommended nutrient guidelines, or customize it with additional nutrient information like voluntary micronutrients, fibers, or sugar alcohols. Recipes you turn into products live here too, tagged as products and ready to use as ingredients in your other recipes.

Import Feature

Import from the USDA database

Quickly import ingredients from the USDA database or utilize supplier-provided ingredient information. Household measures come in ready to use, like 1 tbsp converted to its exact weight in grams, so you don't have to look up conversions yourself.

Versatile Options

Import branded ingredient information, foundation foods, experimental foods, SR Legacy, or raw materials from the USDA database, then edit and expand it with your own details, or skip the import and build an ingredient entirely from scratch.

Monitor Ingredient Updates & Team Collaboration

Collaborate seamlessly with your teammates. NutriLab keeps a detailed history of every change made to an ingredient, so you can easily view, compare, and track who made each modification and what was updated.

If an ingredient's nutrition information changes after it's already in a recipe, NutriLab flags that recipe with a warning so you know to review and update it.

Advanced Search

When importing from the USDA database, use search operators to zero in on exactly the ingredient you need: quotes for an exact phrase, + to require a word, - to exclude one, * to match part of a word, and parentheses to group terms.
