BetterMenu is the recipe formulation workspace where food scientists spend time on the food, not the paperwork. Enter a recipe and the platform handles the rest — every formula change is versioned, every label stays FDA-compliant, and the audit trail writes itself.
Food manufacturers spend hours in spreadsheets every time a recipe changes — recalculating nutrition, rebuilding ingredient lists, re-checking the CFR. BetterMenu does it in minutes, and treats accuracy as sacred: every number is defensible, and the trail showing how it was derived is already there when the auditor asks.
The core workflow: enter a recipe → resolve ingredients to USDA nutrient data → compute FDA-compliant Nutrition Facts → render a label panel.
- Recipe formulation — natural-language ingredient parsing, USDA ingredient search & resolution, intelligent unit conversion, and a full recipe lifecycle (draft → publish → archive)
- FDA-compliant nutrition — automated calculation with the FDA rounding-rules engine (21 CFR §101.9), RACC-based serving sizes (§101.12), dual-column labels, demographic %DV, and per-ingredient contribution analysis
- Render-ready labels — a compliant Nutrition Facts panel from a single endpoint, customizable within FDA bounds
- Versioning & audit trail — git-like recipe versioning with rollback, and an append-only, tamper-evident audit trail (21 CFR Part 11 / FSMA) where every value traces back to how it was derived
- Collaboration — organization- and recipe-level role-based access control for R&D, regulatory, and quality teams
- API-native + AI — everything is available programmatically, with an MCP server that connects AI tools to the compliance engine
- Developer Guide — core concepts and how the platform works
- API Quick Start — build a recipe and nutrition label
- API Reference — all Studio API endpoints
- Recipes — the core formulation unit
- Nutrition Facts — how FDA-compliant facts are computed
