Manage and Publish Nutrition Data with Brand Tools

fatsecret Brand Tools are useful for any branded food and/or beverage products company or organization to put your nutrition and related product information online and make it accessible and discoverable. This includes corporations with a multitude of brands (such as Kraft or Pepsi) or a single brand, restaurants and chains (such as McDonald's, Subway or Starbucks) and supermarkets with private label or house/store brands (such as Walmart, Kroger or Aldi). No company or organization is too small (or big) to register for an account and start submitting, managing and publishing (entirely by choice) nutritional information about their products.

fatsecret Brand Tools are free and have global application.
