On The Menu’s nutrition and marketing team will review your recipe, ingredients and analysis results to determine the nutritional strengths of your food product. Whether your product is free of gluten, low-fat, whole grain, low-calorie or loaded with fiber, every manufacturer has their own individual health strategies to market.

The nutritional strengths of your food product can be promoted through your packaging, website, press releases, brochures and newsletters.

Here are some proven ways we establish your health conscious image without compromising the creativity of your food product:

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Nutrition Claims

Did you know you cannot use nutrition claims such as “low-fat” and “healthy” on a food package unless they meet the specific criteria outlined by the FDA? We know the regulations. Let us help you use the following FDA regulated nutrient content claims:

Calories – free, low, reduced, light/lite Fat – free, low, reduced, light/lite Saturated Fat – free, low, reduced Cholesterol – free, low, reduced Sodium – free, low, very low, reduced, light/lite Sugar – free, low, reduced Provides, Contains, Good Source

High, Excellent Source Of, Rich In More, Added, Enriched, Fortified Fiber Fresh Natural Healthy

A health claim is the description of an association between your food product and its potential role in reducing the risk of a disease or health-related condition. On The Menu can also assist you in making health claims.

Gluten-Free Labeling

Haven’t a clue about gluten-free foods? The Gluten Detectives, a division of On The Menu, solve the mystery of offering gluten-free foods.

We provide a detailed inspection of your ingredients to ensure a gluten-free product. Additionally, we give you information on preparing foods in order to prevent cross-contact as well as a list of all your foods and ingredients that are determined gluten-free. Once completed, we will post your gluten-free information our on www.gluten-detectives.com website which cross links with the Denver Metro Chapter of the Celiac Sprue Association website. These two websites are the most highly used source for people with celiac disease wanting to dine out and locate gluten-free foods in Denver and surrounding cities.

FDA rules for the use of “gluten-free” on product labels are pending January 2008.
