Why Milk Street Recipes Do Not Include Nutrition Facts

Question

Why are nutritional facts not included in recipes.  There are many people who have certain dietary restrictions and need to know this information before trying a recipe.  For example; how many mg. of sodium;  grams of sugar or cholesterol?  Having this information they are able to make substitutions or try another recipe.

Hi Cherie - We understand that it's helpful to know the nutritional information for recipes. However, we are not a health food magazine and, therefore, do not have a nutritionist on staff to accurately calculate the nutritional details for all of our recipes. Computer programs to calculate nutritional analysis are wildly inaccurate so we don't feel confident in using and publishing their results. I will definitely pass along your thoughts to our executive team as something to consider going forward. Thanks for writing! Best, Lynn C.
