What does 14g of sugar per 100g actually mean when the packet in your hand is 250g? Is 0.8g of salt a lot? The Nutrition Label Explainer takes the numbers off the back of the pack and turns them into plain sentences, so you can compare two products instead of squinting at two grids.
Short answer: Nutrition Label Explainer is a free AI tool on EizTools that translates nutrition panels and ingredient lists into plain English, explaining what each figure means, how servings affect it, and how two products compare.
What is Nutrition Label Explainer?
It is an analysis workspace for food labelling. You type or paste what the label says, including the per 100g column, the per serving column and the ingredient list. It explains the figures, flags what is worth noticing and answers the question you actually had.
The most useful thing it does is the arithmetic nobody does in a shop. Per 100g and per serving are different questions, and the packet usually answers the one that flatters it.
How Does Nutrition Label Explainer Work?
Type the label values into the prompt box, along with what you want to know. Select a model before generating, open the advanced options accordion and set the depth and the audience. Press Generate and the explanation appears in the output card, and a reading time appears next to the word count.
Copy it, export it as TXT, Word or HTML, or use Listen to hear it while you are still in the aisle. The activity history panel keeps both products when you are comparing, which is the main way people use this.
Depth, Angle And Audience Level
| Option | What it controls | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Audience Level | General, Intermediate, Expert or Executive | General, which keeps the language plain |
| Depth | Overview, Standard, Deep or Comprehensive | Standard, unless you are studying one product closely |
| Angle | Pros/Cons, SWOT, Cost-Benefit, Feature Comparison or Use-Case Fit | Feature Comparison when weighing two products |
| Output Format | Prose, Table, Bullet Points or Structured Sections | Table for comparisons, Prose for one label |
This panel is shared with the platform's analysis tools, which is why the Angle options read the way they do. Feature Comparison and Pros/Cons are the two that fit food labels well. Include Risks / Caveats is worth leaving on, because it prompts the caution any nutrition explanation needs. The Analytical Rigor slider controls how carefully the figures are worked through.
Pro tip Paste both labels in one prompt when comparing products, rather than running them separately. Set Output Format to Table and you get the two panels side by side with the differences that matter picked out.
Reading A Label Line By Line
Whatever the tool tells you, these are the checks worth making yourself every time.
- ✅ Compare per 100g, not per serving, since serving sizes are chosen by the manufacturer
- ✅ Check the stated serving against how much you would really eat
- ✅ Read the ingredient list order, because it runs from most to least
- ✅ Look at salt separately from sodium, as some labels use one and some the other
- ✅ Note where sugar sits between naturally occurring and added
The serving maths
Works out what the pack contains in total, not just what one portion contains on paper.
Product comparisons
Two labels, one table, with the differences that actually matter separated from the ones that do not.
Ingredient lists explained
Additives, emulsifiers and unfamiliar names described in plain words rather than left as code.
Pitched to the reader
Audience Level changes the vocabulary, which makes it usable for teaching as well as for shopping.
EizTools requires no account and charges nothing, builds a separate workspace for each job, and lets you choose which AI model family answers before generating. The Request a Tool page takes suggestions for gaps in the library. If reading the label was the first step towards cooking something instead of buying it, the Recipe Generator is the obvious next stop.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this medical or dietary advice?
No. Nutrition Label Explainer explains what a label says in plain words. For anything involving a health condition, allergy or prescribed diet, talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian.
Can it compare two products?
Yes, and that is where it earns its place. Paste both labels into one prompt, set Angle to Feature Comparison and Output Format to Table, and the differences are laid out rather than described.
Does it recognise different labelling systems?
It handles the common ones, including per 100g European style panels and per serving American ones. Say which country the product is from, since reference intakes and rounding rules differ.
Will it explain the ingredient list too?
Yes. Paste the ingredients along with the numbers and it explains what the unfamiliar entries are and why they are in the product, which is often more revealing than the nutrition panel.
Labels are written to be legally correct rather than easy to read, and serving sizes are the part that trips people up most. Getting the figures translated into sentences, with the per 100g comparison done for you, is usually enough to make the choice obvious.
Type in what the packet says, ask the question you actually had, and read the caveats at the end.
