ReciPal 2024 Year in Review
It was a big year for ReciPal! We grew our team, added a bunch of new features, strengthened our partnerships, and created lots of content to support food entrepreneurs in growing their businesses.
New Features in 2024
- Nutritional Overrides - manually adjust the calculated results of our database analysis.
- Enhanced Costing Functionality - store historical costing information, bulk upload costs from a spreadsheet, leverage the API integration - all with an updated interface.
- Serving Weight Option - generate a label by simply entering the weight of a serving.
- Bioengineered Ingredient Labeling - easily detect and indicate bioengineered ingredients/foods
- AI Ingredient Creation - use a nutrition label photo or spec sheet to automatically fill the required fields and add a new ingredient to the database.
- Expanded Units of Measure - access more unit options for ingredients in our database, set up one volume measure and automatically create all other standard volume measures on new ingredients.
- Automated Allergens - automatically detect and denote allergens in recipes with control to refine as needed.
- Scaling By Package Size - enter a new package size and instantly scale the recipe with automatically updated servings and packages.

On top of these features, we had lots of smaller improvements like the ability to combine English/French on the Canadian linear format, the ability to hide the NFP on a label download, and tools for you to determine the proper serving size.
Growing Partnerships
Our partnership with Avery is going strong into 2025! They are a great resource for food entrepreneurs because there's no minimum order quantity, no set-up fee, and they have super fast shipping with 100% satisfaction guaranteed. As a testament to this, we've seen orders triple year over year due to happy customers returning for more.
We've also made our lab analysis partnership even more streamlined. Now you can simply fill out a form for whatever lab test you're interested in and quickly get a quote. Our lab partners are experienced, efficient, and offer extremely competitive pricing.
Big Plans for 2025
We're excited for what's to come in 2025. With a larger team of developers, we're ready to roll out even more improvements this year. As always, we'll be focused on making trustworthy, easy-to-use software that helps eliminate headaches and gets you back to doing what you love. If there's anything you'd like to see us take on, just let us know. Almost all the features listed above came directly from user feedback. Here's to a great year!
