Behind the Scenes: How ASKAFOODTECH Utilises Foodworks

At ASKAFOODTECH, the first step in our labelling process is to input the recipe into Foodworks. The software’s extensive database of ingredients, complete with nutrient profiles, allows us to calculate the nutritional content of each recipe. We can quickly determine the levels of energy, protein, fats, carbohydrates, sugars, and other key nutrients. This analysis forms the foundation of the nutrition panel that will appear on the final label. The system is flexible enough to allow us to input key data from specifications where needed. With the recent upgrade to Foodworks.online 2.0, it's now even easier for our team to input data in percentages or quantities depending on the situation.

2. Compliance with FSANZ Standards

Compliance with FSANZ standards is non-negotiable, and Foodworks makes this aspect straightforward. The software is fully aligned with the Food Standards Code, ensuring that all nutritional information is calculated and presented according to regulatory requirements. This includes deciding the correct serving sizes, daily intake percentages, and the mandatory declaration of allergens. With Foodworks, we can confidently assure our clients that their labels meet all legal standards. However, we don't just rely on the system to get it right. Before we send any information to our clients, we will run a check over our work to make sure it is correct.

Every product is unique, and so are its labelling needs. Foodworks offers customization options that allow us to tailor the nutrition label to fit the specific requirements of each product. Whether it’s adjusting the serving size, modifying nutrient declarations, or adding specific health claims, the software’s flexibility ensures that the final label is both accurate and reflective of the product’s unique attributes.

Time is of the essence in the fast-paced food industry, and Foodworks helps us deliver accurate results efficiently. The software’s user-friendly interface and automation features reduce the time it takes to create a label, while minimizing the risk of errors. This efficiency not only helps our internal processes but also allows us to provide our clients with timely and reliable service.

Beyond labelling, Foodworks plays a key role in our product development process. By using the software to analyse potential recipes and formulations, we can experiment with different ingredient combinations while instantly seeing how these changes affect the nutritional profile. This capability is invaluable for developing new products that meet specific health claims or dietary requirements, ensuring that innovation is backed by solid nutritional data.
