The program will be able to analyze food items by brand name and UPC and will be exportable.

The program will be able to analyze recipes and identify FDA health claims using

RACC.

All nutrition attributes will be available to the user to apply to the recipe or food product.

These attributes must be changeable as needed in real-time (moment’s notice).

The tool will be perpetually updated as new national products are introduced into the marketplace.

It will contain clear images of the product and the Nutrition Facts panel and ingredients.
