What's the Difference?
MenuSano uses Theoretical Analysis: By using pre-established databases of food items that have been previously analyzed, the user can gather the nutritional information of your recipes and food products. As always, MenuSano makes it easy to do this by doing all the necessary calculations, taking into account preparation methods and providing nutritional information per portion size. MenuSano is quick, easy, and affordable.
A Laboratory uses Lab Analysis: A portion of a dish, recipe, or food product is shipped out to a Lab where multiple tests are run to determine caloric content, as well as the full nutritional information. While this does create an accurate nutritional panel, there are extra steps and costs involved with Lab Analysis. It also generates a specific nutritional label for a full recipe, and not for each of the ingredients.
