Opsi makes it easy to create nutrition labels from your recipes. The items noted in this article are the elements that consist of a generated recipe label.

Each recipe will require you to set the number of servings the recipe provides (ex. 8 servings), and also the total yield (ex. 1000 grams). Serving size is then automatically determined by your number of servings against the total yield. (ex. 1000 grams / 8 servings = 125 grams per serving). These fields are all managed on a recipe's Yields section.

If multiple yields exist on your recipe (ex. 1000 g, 8 cookies, 4 cups), you have the option to display just one or all on your label.

The caloric and nutrition information for ingredients derives from USDA food items. Upon mapping a recipe ingredient to an equivalent USDA item, the recipe ingredient will then appear on your label with nutrition details.

Please note: caloric details are rounded according to FDA guidelines.

Many times the name of your ingredient may not be how you want it to display on a nutrition label. Opsi provides each of your ingredients a Label Display Name so you can have the name appear exactly as desired.

Each ingredient has the ability for you to modify its Net Yield % (percent used in the recipe after cooking). By default this value is 100%, however some ingredients like cooking oil can be less than 100%, so this is where utilizing the net yield % field is valuable for more accurate nutrition details.

When creating your labels, opsi provides a few customizations options:
