Recipe Nutrition Analysis
Susan can provide a nutritional breakdown of recipes for use in PR, publications, on websites, food packaging and menus. Susan’s focus when analysing recipes is on accuracy and best practice, supported by detailed documentation.
Nutrition Labelling
The majority of prepacked foods must now display nutritional information and Susan provides a cost-effective nutrition calculation service suitable for most foods.
Menu Calorie Labelling
Larger food outlets are now required to provide calorie information. For smaller outlets, providing customers with calorie and nutrient content of menu items together with offering healthier menu options can help to promote your business. Susan can support you in the provision of this information.
Training in Recipe Analysis and Food Composition
Susan runs the established Recipe Analysis: Maximising Accuracy course and also offers bespoke training and advice on recipe analysis and theoretical nutrition calculation. In addition, she also provides training and advice to both professionals and students on food composition, including data production, uses and limitations.

Why choose Recipe Analysis: Maximising Accuracy?
This established one-day course was set up over 15 years ago and is endorsed for CPD by both the Association for Nutrition and the BDA.
The importance of recipe analysis training
“I have software, so I just need to input the numbers. Why do I need training?” Calculating the nutrient content of foods can be a cost-effective alternative to chemical analysis. This method, commonly referred to as recipe analysis or nutritional calculation, estimates nutrient content based on the quantity and composition of each ingredient, taking account of changes during processing. Information on the nutrient content of each ingredient can be taken from standard food composition databases or from supplier data. Nutritional
