As food companies race to meet evolving regulations and rising consumer demand for clean labeling, Canadian-founded, AI-powered nutrition platform MenuSano is expanding beyond North America to serve clients worldwide.
“MenuSano helps clients seamlessly meet compliance standards and create innovative, trend-driven recipes their customers love, in minutes – all at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems, making recipe development and labeling easier and scalable,” said Sonia Couto, Founder, MenuSano.
MenuSano said its accessible nutrition labeling and recipe analysis platform – starting at just $29/month – is now available across the U.K., Middle East, and Asia. The software also often eliminates the need for costly lab testing, reducing expenses by as much as 95 per cent.
Trusted by leading CPG, restaurant, and foodservice brands, including Shake Shack, Canopy Growth, Pizza Nova, Momofuku, and Healthy Planet, MenuSano now also offers modules for supplements, edibles, and cannabis-adjacent products.
“What started as a personal mission to help people eat better has grown into a global platform that empowers companies to navigate change,” added Couto, a cancer survivor who bootstrapped the company after experiencing how difficult it was to access clear, accurate nutrition information during her recovery.

FOOD BRANDS FACE MOUNTING REGULATORY PRESSURE
The company said U.S. regulators are increasing scrutiny around added sugars, sodium, and artificial dyes, while demanding greater ingredient transparency.
In Canada, new front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labeling regulations take effect January 1, 2026. Meanwhile, 74 per cent of consumers prefer brands with accurate nutrition labels and 60 percent actively seek “clean label” products with simple, recognizable ingredients (Innova Market Insights, 2024), it said.
FOOD TECH PLATFORM POISED FOR GROWTH
With the global nutrition labeling market expected to grow from $25.4 billion to $36.2 billion by 2035 (CAGR 3.6%), MenuSano is positioned to capitalize on accelerating demand for faster, smarter compliance tools as a scalable, AI-powered alternative to legacy software solutions that can cost up to $30,000 per year.
