The honest label maker for small food businesses
A bigger free database, cottage-food support the incumbents ignore, and no per-recipe caps.
The USDA's own database
380,000+ public-domain foods — far bigger than the ~18,000-ingredient incumbents. Plus your own saved custom ingredients.
Exactly-compliant panels
Deterministic FDA renderer: correct rounding, %DV, Added Sugars, updated serving sizes, and mandatory nutrient order.
Big-9 allergen detection
Automatically flags milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, and sesame into a clean “Contains” line.
Ingredient statements
Auto-ordered by weight (predominance) with parenthetical sub-ingredients — exactly how the FDA requires.
Every state's disclosure
The correct “made in a home kitchen” statement for all 50 states + DC, with links to each state's official source.
Print-ready everywhere
Export vector PDF and SVG (crisp at any size) plus high-resolution PNG. No lock-in — your labels are yours.
