Quickly define or improve your recipe's, even in
Do you manage many food references or many recipes? It’s not easy to quickly calculate their Nutri-Scores, keep them up to date, or quickly and concretely understand how to improve them!
Calculating your Nutri-Score, a complex and time-consuming task
Calculating the Nutri-Score requires prior access to regulatory nutritional values (calories, sugars, etc.), but also non-regulatory information difficult to calculate: the percentage of fiber or fruits and vegetables and the category to which the product belongs. Finding the missing information for many products quickly becomes tedious!
For recipes, nutritional values are not always readily available. To obtain correct Nutri-Scores, nutritional assessments must be carried out and food transformations such as cleaning, hydration, dehydration must be carefully considered!
Our methodology
Automatic deductions of fiber and fruit and vegetable rates necessary for Nutri-Score calculation
In general, for products, only the regulatory data needed for the Nutri-Score calculation is available, and fiber and vegetable rates must be estimated.
YouMeal goes much further by automatically deducing them from the nutritional declaration and the ingredient list. It also identifies missing data and assesses their impact on the rating, thus avoiding unnecessary calculations when the score is already optimal.
Finally, depending on the product category, the correct calculation formula is automatically applied, ensuring a quick and reliable Nutri-Score assessment for a large number of products.
Single tool for your nutritional assessments and Nutri-Score calculation
No need to pre-encode your recipes in nutritional assessment software and then manually transfer the values to a Nutri-Score calculator. YouMeal directly imports your recipes, regardless of their format, and automatically models food transformations (hydration, cooking, edible weight, etc.). Thus, you instantly obtain the nutritional declaration and the Nutri-Score, without any extra effort.
Understand how to improve your products and recipes
For each product, thanks to the educational interfaces, discover how many points you need to save to obtain a better Nutri-Score letter and which nutrients to prioritize. Easily identify those that offer the most impact with the least adjustment. The interface also guides you to the specific ingredients that influence these nutrients and allows you to anticipate the cascading effects of each modification, in order to optimize your recipe without compromising other aspects of the Nutri-Score.
Identify products that are easy to improve.
We provide you with a list of products that are close to moving to a better Nutri-Score letter. You can also consult this list yourself in the software.
Reliable results that consider food transformations !
If you do not take food transformations into account, your Nutri-Scores will be inaccurate. Indeed, the calculation is based on the nutritional values per 100 g of finished product, which implies integrating the absorbed water (pasta…) and the evaporated water (cooking…). YouMeal software automates these adjustments to ensure reliable and accurate results.
We process your data, whatever their format or structure
If you process products, send us their nutritional declaration. If you process recipes, simply send us the quantities of ingredients involved. And if these ingredients are themselves composed of several elements, provide us with their EAN or technical data sheet.
Don’t waste time structuring or digitising this data. Our recognition and structuring tool quickly processes thousands of recipes: XLS, CSV, Word, PDF or even unstructured text.
We can also automate the integration of your data via API, facilitating updates and synchronisation of information. You also have the option of accessing our encoding and verification interfaces, to enable your teams or suppliers to work independently.
Ready-to-present results, without having to copy anything
No more copying your results for layout : save time, avoid errors and enhance your products with beautiful visuals.
Automatically retrieve your data in the format that suits you – XLS files, connected API, mobile application or dish and menu sheets – and easily present them to your customers, wherever and whenever you want.
