Global Nutrition Value (GNV) connects ingredients, recipes, allergens, nutrition, provenance and menu information so teams can manage reformulation and substitutions without rebuilding food data by hand.
FIT™ is GNV's proprietary standard that turns food data into trusted intelligence. It unifies allergen information, nutrition facts, ingredient lineage, and supplier evidence into one verifiable record.
Recipes, ingredients, and supplier data digitised at source
Allergens and nutrition recalculated from the current recipe and ingredient information
Ingredient substitutions and reformulation changes linked to affected recipes, menus and outputs
Labels, menus, QR codes, and evidence packs generated on demand
The problem is fragmented information: recipes, ingredients, allergens, nutrition and menus living in different places. GNV is designed to keep those records connected as food changes.
When an ingredient changes, allergens, nutrition and menu information can change with it. GNV helps teams manage that substitution consistently.
Recipes in one system, ingredient specifications in another and allergen data in a spreadsheet create inconsistent food information and unnecessary manual work.
Cloud-only platforms fail when internet goes down. Kitchens continue serving — but with no compliance record until systems reconnect, creating gaps that cannot be filled after the fact.
Every ingredient swap captured instantly. Allergen panels, nutrition data, and labels auto-update across the entire operation — no manual reconciliation required.
Recipes, ingredient specifications, allergens, nutrition, provenance and menu data are connected in one structured record.
GNV operates fully without internet. Records are maintained offline and securely synchronised when connectivity returns.
GNV is designed to keep food information current as work happens — so ingredient changes can flow through recipes, allergens, nutrition and published menus without rebuilding everything manually.
GNV brings ingredients, recipes, allergens, nutrition, menus and operational food data into one practical workspace.

Everything you need to know about GNV and how it works.
GNV stands for Global Nutrition Value — an audit-grade food information, allergen and nutrition platform built for institutional kitchens, hospitals, schools, and enterprise caterers. Global Nutrition Value turns fragmented ingredient, recipe and operational data into structured information teams can keep current and reuse.
GNV captures food information where work actually happens — in recipe development, kitchens, menu management and product-information workflows. Ingredient changes can be reflected across allergen declarations, nutrition information, recipes and published menus from a connected source. No paper trails, no manual reconstruction.
Global Nutrition Value supports food-information workflows relevant to EU 1169, Natasha's Law (PPDS), FSAI guidance, HACCP and US market requirements, while keeping the core focus on current ingredients, allergens, nutrition, recipes and menus.
GNV is designed for food operations that need current, consistent food information — including healthcare kitchens, schools and universities, contract caterers, hotels and manufacturers. If you manage ingredients, allergens, nutrition or menus at scale, Global Nutrition Value is built to help keep that information connected.
Global Nutrition Value offers a free pilot window. You can be operational in one kitchen within a week. GNV runs offline-first, so there are no complex infrastructure requirements — it works in kitchens with limited or no internet connectivity.
When a chef, product team or purchasing manager substitutes an ingredient, GNV can compare the incoming ingredient with the original, highlight allergen changes, recalculate nutrition and identify the recipes, menus and published food information that need review. The change retains a clear history so teams can understand what changed and when.
Use these resources to understand terminology, compare GNV, calculate risk, and validate food compliance decisions before a pilot.
