More Accurate Folate and Folic Acid Labeling in NutriCalc
Overview/What’s New?
NutriCalc now includes updated nutrient options for folate and folic acid, so these values can be captured and represented more accurately for nutrition labeling. These changes provide clearer nutrient names and additional folate-related options, helping users show folate and folic acid correctly on nutrition labels.
Who will use it?
This update is intended for users who manage or review nutrient data in NutriCalc. It is especially useful for nutrition, product development, quality, and regulatory teams that need to track folate and folic acid values with the correct nutrient type and unit of measure.
What has changed?
The nutrient capture for folate and folic acid has been separated into four folate-related fields, including updated names for existing folate and folic acid nutrients and additional options for naturally occurring folate and folate measured as dietary folate equivalents. These fields are available where folate nutrients are managed or displayed, including preferences, ingredient nutrients, recipe nutrients, and nutrition labels.
Benefit to Users
This enhancement improves nutrition label accuracy by giving users a clearer way to manage folate and folic acid values. By providing more specific nutrient fields and clearer labeling, users can select the correct folate value more confidently, reduce confusion when reviewing nutrition results, and meet labeling expectations without manual workarounds. Overall, the updated folate and folic acid nutrient fields help users manage folate-related data more clearly, accurately, and consistently for nutrition labeling.
