The compliance engine calculates every number, from USDA data and FDA rules, with no AI in it.

## What does one recipe look like, start to finish?

AI matches each ingredient to a USDA food, estimates a weight only when no USDA portion fits, and in Studio suggests which ingredients add sugars. You review each one, change it or confirm it. The compliance engine does the math.

| You paste | USDA match | Grams |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 4 tbsp honey, matched to Honey | Honey | 84 g |
| 1/2 tsp salt, matched to Salt, table | Salt, table | 3 g |
| 1 cup sliced almonds, matched to Nuts, almonds | Nuts, almonds | 92 g |
| 3 cups rolled oats, matched to Cereals, oats, regular and quick, not fortified, dry | Cereals, oats, regular and quick, not fortified, dry | 243 g |
| Batch, divided into 60 g servings |  | 422 g |

One 60 g serving, before and after FDA rounding

| Nutrient | Calculated | On the label |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Calories. Over 50: nearest 10 | 243.0 | 240 |
| Total Fat. 5 g and up: nearest gram | 8.78 g | 9g |
| Sodium. Over 140 mg: nearest 10 | 168.0 mg | 170mg |

## Can I do all of this from ChatGPT or Claude?

Yes. The ChatGPT app and Claude connector build the recipe and export the label. They work on your BetterMenu plan, and use its allowance as Studio does. The same compliance engine does the math.

A sample recipe, Maple Pecan Date Cookies, pasted into ChatGPT: each line matched and weighed, the added sugars confirmed, then the label exported as a PNG by BetterMenu
