Nutrition Facts Label free WordPress plugin

Our motivation for releasing this plugin is based on a forum discussion on the food-cook theme support site. We felt that we already had some code that could serve as a basis for producing this plugin, other food bloggers could benefit and possibly improve on. This plugin will work best on blogs that use food-cook theme. For food blogs that are not based on the food-cook theme, It is possible to create a custom post type called “recipe” and an ingredients post_meta entry with key “RECIPE_META_ingredients”. We strongly recommended taking this route or using this plugin under the guidance of a WordPress developer. From a more technical side, In order to generate a nutrition facts label, you can either generate an image or generate a post_meta key (gfb_recipe_meta_nutrition_facts) that holds JSON data (for each recipe) which is used to generate a nutrition label. This plugin also includes a meta box within the recipe post edit page in the admin area, which automatically reads the post_meta entry with key “RECIPE_META_ingredients” which mainly contains your ingredients list and uses that to generate the nutrition label. In order to automatically display a nutrition label on the every recipe, your WordPress developer should add this line of code to the best possible place. It is also possible to embed this as a short-code from the text editor. But based on the food-cook recipe page layout your options may appear limited, hence why it is best that a WordPress developer helps out here.
