<i>Please note: only user with the "Edit Recipes" permission can generate and manage nutrition labels.</i>

Before proceeding, we recommend reading the <a href="https://help.opsi.io/en/articles/8568374-nutrition-labels-overview">Nutrition labels overview</a> article to best understand what comprises a generated nutrition label.

Below is a guide on how to navigate the edit nutrition page.

You can search USDA food items by name, brand name, or by entering their NDB/UPC number which can be located on the <a href="https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/fdc-app.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">USDA food search website</a>.

After associating a food item to your ingredient, the caloric details will appear on the nutrition label.

There are multiple reasons why an ingredient with a linked USDA food item does not display caloric details on the label.

Ingredient <code>quantity</code> or <code>unit</code> missing

Check that the ingredient on the recipe has values entered on both the quantity and unit fields.

If you are using an ingredient on a recipe in a volume or count unit, you must have a <a href="https://help.opsi.io/en/articles/8296023-ingredient-conversions-prep-methods-and-yields-overview">conversion set</a> on the ingredient to properly factor nutrition details. This is because USDA food items are based on weight units (ex. grams).

Check that the recipe has a value entered on the <code>servings</code> field.

Check that the recipe has a total yield entered (ex. 1000 g). This total yield will be factored against the number of servings to give you each serving size.
