Accurate – Healthy Dining’s nutrition information is guaranteed to be accurate based on the recipes provided by your restaurant. Correct nutrition information is important to prevent restaurant liability and increase trust on behalf of consumers. To maintain accuracy, your restaurant must update Healthy Dining about any changes in recipes, brands, preparation and ingredients. If your restaurant changes the brand of tortilla, the analysis should be updated with the revised information for the tortilla. Even small changes in the recipe may result in significant differences in the nutrition data.  A nominal fee is charged for revisions.

Lower Cost – Healthy Dining’s computerized nutrition analysis provides a more cost effective approach than laboratory analysis. Computerized nutrition analysis is an FDA-accepted method of analysis for restaurant foods. When performed correctly, the computerized method is typically a better predictor of the nutrition content from multiple production runs than a single laboratory analysis. This is because the database method 1) is based on a recipe as the standard and 2) employs the statistical average for commodity products that can vary with growing conditions and other factors. Exceptions are menu items that undergo processing in which the nutrient changes cannot be confidently predicted, such as fried foods.
