TORONTO, ON – 15/10/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – As governments tighten nutrition labelling regulations and consumers increasingly demand greater transparency in the food they eat, technology is stepping in to bridge the gap between compliance and innovation. In this evolving landscape, MenuSano, the Canadian-born nutrition analysis and labelling platform trusted by international food brands, has announced the official launch of its Front-of-Package (FOP) Labelling Generator — a software-driven solution designed to make compliance faster, more affordable, and more scalable than ever before.
The new FOP Labelling Generator comes at a critical time for the food industry. With Canada’s upcoming Front-of-Package nutrition symbol mandate set to take effect in January 2026, companies must ensure that any prepackaged food high in saturated fat, sugars, or sodium clearly displays a front-facing symbol that warns consumers the product exceeds recommended daily values. Similar regulatory movements are underway across the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union — signaling a global shift toward stricter nutrition disclosure standards. For many food manufacturers, restaurants, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands, adapting to these evolving requirements can be daunting and costly. MenuSano’s new tool aims to change that.
Empowering Food Companies to Take Control of Compliance
Unlike traditional lab testing — which can take weeks, require costly third-party services, and offer little flexibility for ongoing recipe development — MenuSano’s digital platform offers a software-first approach. Users can conduct comprehensive nutrition analyses, generate compliant labels, and test ingredient substitutions all within minutes. The system’s built-in intelligence helps identify recipes that exceed sodium, sugar, or fat thresholds and automatically suggests reformulation strategies to bring them back into compliance.
For founder and CEO Sonia Couto, the mission is deeply personal. A breast cancer survivor and advocate for health-driven innovation, Couto built MenuSano with the goal of democratizing access to nutritional data and empowering food businesses to make healthier, more transparent decisions. “Front-of-package labelling is reshaping how brands think about the food they make,” Couto explained. “Consumers today are more label-conscious than ever. With MenuSano, companies can reformulate quickly, in-house, without the time or cost of outsourcing to a lab. We’re helping the industry meet the new standards without compromising innovation or profitability.”
Navigating 2026 and Beyond: The Global Push for Honest Food Labelling
The upcoming Canadian regulation is part of a broader global trend emphasizing front-facing transparency. By requiring simple, easily recognizable symbols on packaging, regulators aim to help consumers make quicker, more informed purchasing decisions — particularly when it comes to foods that contribute to chronic health issues like obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. But compliance is only one side of the equation. For brands, the challenge lies in reformulating products to maintain taste, texture, and shelf appeal while reducing key risk ingredients.
MenuSano bridges this gap by merging AI-powered analytics, regulatory expertise, and ease of use into one cohesive platform. It not only supports compliance with Canadian FOP rules but is also designed to adapt to multiple global markets — including the U.S., Europe, and Australia — where front-of-pack initiatives are being actively developed or enforced.
Leveling the Playing Field with Affordable Enterprise-Level Software
What sets MenuSano apart is its accessibility. With subscriptions starting at just $29 per month, the platform brings enterprise-grade functionality to businesses of all sizes — from local bakeries and restaurant chains to international food conglomerates. Users can generate export-ready nutrition facts, allergen declarations, compliance alerts, and FOP symbols in just a few clicks, dramatically reducing both time and cost.
Key capabilities of the MenuSano FOP Labelling Generator include:
- Instant Label Creation: Generate compliant front-of-package symbols and nutrition panels in minutes.
- Intelligent Alerts: Automatically flag recipes high in sodium, sugar, or saturated fats.
- AI Reformulation Suggestions: Receive actionable recommendations to meet health and regulatory thresholds.
- Seamless Export: Create packaging- and web-ready files for use across digital and print formats.

Already adopted by top-tier clients such as Momofuku, Shake Shack, Canopy Growth, Mount Franklin Foods, Pizza Nova, Healthy Planet, and Keto Food Co., MenuSano has proven its ability to scale across multiple sectors — from foodservice and manufacturing to retail and consumer packaged goods. By combining analytical rigor with intuitive design, it helps both emerging and established brands navigate the complexities of nutritional compliance without requiring a background in food science or regulatory law.
“FOP compliance isn’t just a regulatory checkbox — it’s an opportunity for brands to demonstrate accountability,” said Couto. “We’re seeing that the smartest companies are using MenuSano not just to meet regulations, but to differentiate themselves in the market through transparency and trust.”
