Calculator

How do I switch between NRC, AAFCO, and FEDIAF?

Change the nutrition standard in the calculator to compare the same recipe against different reference systems.

BarfLab can validate the same recipe against different reference standards.

Available standards

  • NRC 2006
  • AAFCO
  • FEDIAF

Typical flow

  1. Open the recipe in the calculator.
  2. Find the nutrition standard setting.
  3. Choose the standard you want to use.
  4. Let the analysis refresh.
  5. Review the updated targets, warnings, and ratios.

What changes after switching

The recipe ingredients stay the same, but the interpretation can change because the nutrient targets and thresholds are based on the selected standard.

When this is useful

Use this when you want to compare how the same formula behaves under different reference systems or when you need the standard that matches your region or workflow.
