With growing awareness of healthy eating and the need for transparency in food labeling, there is now a greater need for an acceptable system that would be able to assess and evaluate food and beverage products. NutriGrade client gave us the brief to undertake the construction of a digital platform capable of calculating food grades based on ingredient data and generating reports of nutritional analysis.
NutriGrade became a complete Food & Beverage Formulation and Nutrition Grading System. The entire application, from raw material management to recipe formulation and report generation, was built from the ground up with a focus on scalability and accuracy.

The Challenge
One of the main advantages given to NutriGrade was the clarity of requirements. The client provided formulas, grading ideas, and business rules, keeping in mind the regulatory standards. Technical and functional challenges were not significant during the entire course of the development. Nevertheless, the high level of precision required for this project presented a challenge.
Nutritional calculations for calories, protein, fats, carbohydrates, and other nutrients had to be done with accuracy at all three levels: raw materials, mixtures, and final recipes. Because a food grading would ultimately affect decisions on the product, data accuracy and coherence were essential throughout the system.
Our Approach
- We followed a structured and modular approach to build a reliable and user-friendly platform.
- The system was designed with clear roles and secure access for different users.
User & Role Management
- Super Admin was designed to manage several company accounts.
- Company Admins were empowered to manage team members, data, and subscription.
- Secure login with role-based access was implemented to shield sensitive information.
Raw Materials & Mixtures Management
- Enabled Company Admins to create raw materials with detailed nutritional values.
- Enabled the creation of pre-made mixtures using multiple raw materials.
- Made it easy to handle both simple and complex food formulations.
Nutrition Calculator & Recipe Formulation
- Nutrition calculator developed for the automatic calculations of:
- Calories, Protein, Fat, Carbohydrates, Other essential nutrients
- Users can create, edit, and manage recipes for Food, Beverages, and Toppings.
- Nutritional values update instantly when ingredients are changed.
Reports & Insights
- Reporting on detailed nutritional analysis was built in PDF and Excel formats.
- Summary reports provided clear and easily understandable insights.
- Visual breakdowns were added for improved decision-making.
Ingredient Database & File Storage
- Created a central ingredient database with brand categorization.
- AWS S3 was integrated for secure storage of documents & reports.
The Results
- Automated and accurate food grading based on ingredient data
- Faster reformulation and evaluation of recipes
- Easier management of raw materials, mixtures, and recipes
- Professional PDF and Excel reports for compliance and analysis
Conclusion
The NutriGrade case study showcases how a systematically thought-out data-driven approach can ease complex nutritional calculations and food grading processes. With an amalgamation of accurate formulas, flexible recipe management, and great reporting, we created the platform to enable health-centric innovation and regulatory compliance.
This project aims to demonstrate our cutting-edge ability to build custom applications from end to end, especially when accuracy, structure, and scalability are of paramount importance. NutriGrade now stands as a solid bedrock for informed science taking food and beverage formulation decisions forward.
