Read this before printing a label
Plain-language summary. The full legal version is in the Terms of Service.
NutriPanel is independent software built by independent developers. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), Health Canada, the Government of Canada, the USDA, or any regulatory authority. Any reference to CFIA materials, the Food and Drug Regulations, Schedule M, or Health Canada Daily Values is purely descriptive — we are telling you which public document we tried to follow, not claiming that any agency has reviewed or blessed our output.
NutriPanel helps you produce a Nutrition Facts table that looks like the format CFIA describes. It does not — and cannot — guarantee:
You are the producer. Accuracy is your legal responsibility. Before you commercialize a label generated with NutriPanel, you must verify it with at least one of the following:
Treat NutriPanel output the way you would treat a Word document a colleague drafted: useful starting point, never the final word.
NutriPanel pulls reference values from the USDA FoodData Central API and Health Canada's Canadian Nutrient File (CNF). These are excellent public databases — and they routinely contain incomplete, outdated, or context-specific entries. A "rolled oats" entry might reflect a different cultivar, processing method, or moisture content than yours. We pass through what we receive. We do not verify it for your specific ingredient or supplier.
If a label generated by NutriPanel contains an error and that error contributes to a recall, fine, fine, allergen incident, illness, injury, regulatory action, lawsuit, or any other harm — that is not our liability. We are a software tool. You are the food producer. The full liability cap, indemnification, and governing law are in the Terms of Service.
By using NutriPanel, you accept this allocation of responsibility. If you cannot accept it, do not use the service.
The one-sentence version
NutriPanel is draft assistance, not regulatory approval — verify every label with a registered dietitian or accredited lab before commercializing your product.
