From a user review of the CD-based version:
Immediate
and colourful results are produced for students at all secondary stages by this
nutrition analysis software, originally specified by a curriculum body, and
now an established resource.
Graphs and textual results can be saved for use in any report package, and analysis
results can be saved for food labels. . . . Existing users comment on its ease-of-use
and its flexibility in providing analysis from simple to advanced levels, thus
supporting junior and senior students of Food Technology, Home Economics and
PSHE. (published by R-E-M, Somerset)
User comments on the CD version
 The
pupils who will be using NutriGraph for GCSE can't wait to use it in the
heat of battle . . and KS3 groups are already getting used to using it with
their nutritional project on hiking foods . . some comments have been "Wow,
fantastic, why did we not get this earlier, sir?" and "This is
much easier not to mention quicker" . . As for value for money, it
is great value - a Somerset teacher reviewing NutriGraph for an educational
supplier. |

So flexible - it can be used with any group, from First Year upwards - a tool which can be adapted by teachers to do many tasks - better than anything else of its type - a North Lanarkshire teacher using NutriGraph in June 2002 |

An excellent piece
of software that will be very useful to all teachers of food technology.
It can compare ingredients nutritionally if a student is not sure which
is the healthier option. Recipes can be created and analysed. This is
a one-stop programme that will cover everything that is required for CAD
in food technology at GCSE. (Ian Webb) |

This programme proved best for my personal needs - you can compare ingredients, create and analyse recipes and show costing. (Leanne Manning) |

I am very
impressed with its time saving qualities. It would be frustrating
to manually calculate food orders knowing that there is a much quicker
method available. - Mrs
E. B., a satisfied customer since 1989, and an enthusiastic user
of later versions |
| It saves hours of collating food orders and means pupils can have a greater choice of recipes (Mrs M.M., another user since 1989) |

Just completed first full order on version 5 - brilliant! (Mrs H.B.) |
| A time saver !! No collation - ideal for stock control (Mrs E.S.) |
| I hope everybody is as pleased with it as I am . . . it makes our busy lives so much easier (Mrs E. G.) |
| I timed myself today - it took me less than one minute to do the food orders for my classes (Mrs A.H., a new user, from version 5) |
