Wouldn't it be great to have at a glance
nutritional information about your favourite recipe?

Heard about Traffic Light Foods?

Wouldn't it be great, to sit down at a restaurant with a menu that contained clear nutritional information - an image that clearly gave you the information required for an informed choice?

Wouldn't it be great to browse a recipe book and select meals that reflected your nutritional choices, quickly and easily by glancing at an image?

Well, we are beginning to travel along that road, but first we need to test our system with a few dedicated food lovers.

If you're a recipe maker, or just want to enter in your favourite recipes, we can combine all your ingredients into a recipe and provide you with a Traffic Light Food image (like the one at the top of the page) that will give you a per serve indication of how healthy your meal is!

Lots of recipes provide you with nutritional information, NONE provide you with a traffic light food image - except for this web site!

What do we need to create a Traffic Light Food recipe image?

Whilst our programming is still in the testing phase, we require some enterprising 'chefs' (people who love home cooking) to submit some carefully weighed recipe favourites to run through our scripts. You'll get FULL acknowledgement as author of the recipe as well!

We need the following from you for each recipe

1. Your recipe ingredients (weighed!).
2. The nutritional Panel details from ingredients that have them.
3. Your cooking instructions.
4. A recipe summary.
5. An image if possible (200px x 200px preferred. Square size preferable).
6. The number of serves (portions) that the recipe makes.

You can be among the first in the world to create Traffic Light Food images for recipes!

Why is it important?

Basically, we don't know what we are eating or, the nutritional spread of what we are eating. This Traffic Light Food recipe image will give you a clear, at a glance, impression of the nutritional values of the food that you eat.

It will be easy to see if you are eating a high salt diet, or too much saturated fats.

How long does it take to make the labels?

While we are compiling this information manually, we'll generally get back to you within a few hours. When the automation is complete, the image will be produced immediately!

Can I publish these images?

Absolutely! You may publish the images on websites as long as you link back or give fair reference to this web site. If you want custom images, please contact us.

How do I sign up?

Use the Contact Us link in the left hand column and drop us a short note with your email address. We'll be emailing back and forth a bit, and thanks for reading this page!
