Nutrition in Kitchen CUT

Nutritional data within our solution is managed at product level, enabling automation and calculation at point of sub-recipe and recipe creation

Kitchen CUT supports the automatic calculation of nutritional data for products, recipes, and menus — essential for meeting UK regulations like Natasha’s Law and calorie labelling requirements.

Nutritional values are generated using:

  • Supplier-provided data via the Supplier Gateway

  • Public databases: UK CoFid and USDA

  • Manual user input or overrides

You are able to select which of these options are available on yourKitchen CUT system by heading to Settings > Nutrition > Nutritional Data Graphical user interface, application Description automatically generated with medium confidence

✅ How It Works

  • Nutrition is calculated per 100g at product level.

  • When a product is added to a recipe, its values are proportionally scaled.

  • These roll up to form full nutritional data for recipes and then menus.

If a product lacks nutritional values, tools are available to help complete the data.

🧭 How to Add or Correct Nutritional Data

1. Check Existing Product Data

  • Go to:
    Suppliers > Products
  • Search for the product and open it. Select the 'Nutrition' tab.
  • When viewing a product, you have a Nutrition and Allergen tab. If the nutrition is provided by the supplier and the setting Vendor supplied = On it will show against the product.
    If there is no data from the supplier or Vendor supplied = Off AND CoFids or USDA are On the user will be able to select and map the product to an item from one of the databases.Screenshot 2025-06-11 at 11.16.08

2. Use the Nutrition Mapping Tool

If values are missing:

  • Click Map Nutrition at the bottom of the product profile.

  • Search for a matching item from the CoFid or USDA databases.

  • Select and map it — the system will import its nutritional profile automatically.Graphical user interface, text, application, email, website Description automatically generated

3. Use the UOM Override Tool (for 'Each' Products)

For products with a base unit of each, nutritional values can't be calculated unless converted into a measurable format. In these instances, you will receive the following message when viewing the product:Graphical user interface, text, application, email Description automatically generated

  • Scroll to the UOM Override section of the product.

  • Enter an equivalent measurable unit (e.g. 1 each = 70g)

  • This allows the system to calculate accurate nutrition during recipe building.Screenshot 2025-06-11 at 11.31.10

🧠 Best Practices

  • Apply UOM overrides to all non-standard units (e.g. items sold as 'each').
  • Always map unmapped products using the Nutrition Mapping Tool to ensure recipe-level accuracy.
  • Manually edit fields only when reliable source data is available.

❓FAQs

Where does Kitchen CUT get its nutritional data?

Can I override mapped nutritional values?
Yes — values can be edited manually if verified data differs from the database.

Do I need to complete every product before recipes are accurate?
