What are the advantages of a calculated nutrition analysis?
In addition to taking far less time, one of the greatest advantages to analyzing your product through calculated (rather than lab) analysis is the cost savings – calculated analysis can be done at a fraction of the cost of a lab analysis. It is an affordable method for analyzing all of your products or menu items. In addition, a calculated analysis has the advantage of being able to provide you with a breakdown of the nutrient information for each ingredient. From this, we will be able to assess how the item can be modified to improve its nutritional value. This is not possible with a lab analysis as the lab report provides only the nutrient information for the item as a whole.
