NUTRA — Robin: AI-Powered Food Compliance Platform
The problem
First-time food entrepreneurs struggle with complex FDA regulatory requirements and HACCP plans, facing weeks of manual research and high consultant costs that delay bringing home recipes to retail shelves.
The solution
Robin is a free, AI-powered compliance tool built for Hawaiʻi's food entrepreneurs through Leeward Community College's ʻĀina to Mākeke program. The platform transforms complex FDA regulatory requirements into an intuitive wizard-based experience, enabling first-time food makers to generate professional nutrition labels and HACCP food safety plans in minutes rather than weeks.
