Nutrient analysis is a useful tool which may be applied in a variety of ways:
- If you are a catering manager and want to provide your customers with nutritional information about your menu items
- If you are a school caterer and need to demonstrate compliance with the government nutrient standards for school food. Help is also provided with adjusting menus to meet the standards if necessary.
- If you are writing a cookery book, newsletter or article and want to include nutrient information about your recipes
- If you want to know whether you are eating a balanced diet which meets the government guidelines for optimum health
