Integral Carbon Labelling – From My Emissions
Kafoodle is keen to optimise nutritional awareness and compliance capabilities with climate consciousness – supporting every client to further their Net-Zero goals.
In partnership with My Emissions, Kafoodle has been able to integrate a carbon labelling capability directly into its recipe management platform, giving users easy access to emissions data alongside nutritional, allergen and compliance information.
With everything in one place, carbon assessments and labelling become an integral part of recipe development and management, not just an afterthought.
The Kafoodle X My Emissions integration enables food service businesses to:
- Quantify the environmental impact of menu items alongside nutritional, allergen and compliance information.
- Make informed decisions about menu planning and dish development.
- Quickly achieve Net-Zero goals.
How It Works: A Simple 3 Step Process
- 1. Kafoodle clients simply tick the recipes in their account they want carbon assessed.
- 2. My Emissions immediately receives a notification to process recipes’ carbon data and assess the carbon footprint of each recipe using the latest statistical analysis of the 3000+ foods in the My Emissions database.
- 3. Carbon calculations then appear in clients’ Kafoodle accounts, offering CO2e measurements plus carbon ratings from A (Very Low) to E (Very High).
