The first thing that you need to do is get a nutrition analysis. You can do this one of two ways; chemical testing - send your product to a food laboratory and have them burn it and test its nutritional content, or by database calculation - use a CD software or web application to calculate your nutrition facts by matching your ingredients to pre-analyzed ingredients in a database. You can also find 3rd party consultants who will run your analysis for you using a database system.

What is a nutritional label?
A nutritional label is the label found usually on the side or back of a product or the product's box. (It is like a long rectangualr vertical box with parts sectioned off.) At the top, it will say the serving size and how many servings the product contains, followed by the calories and calories from fat. After that, it will give a list of percents of certain vitamins, carbs, sodium, ect. that it contains. (All of these percents are based out of a 2000 calories diet.) Along the bottom it should list the ingredients, in order from the highest amounts used to the lowest amounts used in the product.
