MenuTrinfo

What MenuTrinfo does

MenuTrinfo LLC is a Fort Collins, Colorado-based food safety and nutritional transparency company founded in 2010 by Betsy Craig and Rocky Craig. The company operates three core service lines: AllerTrain, an ANAB-accredited food allergy and gluten-free training program delivered through live sessions, eLearning (via Schoox), and microlearning modules across multiple languages, with over 100,000 participants trained; Certified Free From (CFF), the only ANAB-accredited, ISO 17065-conformant global certification program verifying that packaged food products and facilities are free from the major nine allergens; and AllerCheck, a scalable on-site assessment program covering 1 to 1,000 locations. Supporting offerings include a 26,000+ ingredient nutritional analysis and FDA-compliant menu labeling service, Certified Gluten-Free and Vegan Verified sub-certifications, and menu consulting.

The underlying technology centers on a proprietary ingredient database, a reverse ingredient lookup capability, and immunochemical allergen testing methods at 5 ppm allergen and 10 ppm gluten sensitivity, all delivered through a combination of self-serve eLearning, direct enterprise sales, and channel partnerships (notably Steritech for AllerCheck and FARE for advocacy reach). The company is WBE-certified, Women-Owned Business Enterprise, and remains founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment. Primary customers are universities and college dining operations (1,000+ institutions), with additional exposure to restaurants and foodservice operators, CPG manufacturers, healthcare foodservice, hotels and resorts, and camps. GTM is a mix of sales-led direct engagement for certification and assessment work, channel partners for distribution, event-driven lead generation through the annual FASI symposium and National Allergy Awards, and self-serve eLearning for individual training purchases.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Nutritionix: Nutritionix is a leading nutrition data platform powering restaurant menu labeling, grocery product data, and nutrition APIs. Like MenuTrinfo, it serves restaurant chains and food manufacturers with FDA-compliant nutrition analysis and is a direct competitor in menu labeling and nutritional database services.
• MenuCalc: MenuCalc provides nutritional analysis and menu labeling services for restaurants and food service operators in Europe and globally. It directly competes with MenuTrinfo's Nutritional Analysis and Menu Labeling services, particularly for chains needing FDA-compliant disclosure and allergen identification.
• Steritech: Steritech is a direct partner and peer in food safety assessments for restaurants and foodservice operators. MenuTrinfo partnered with Steritech to distribute AllerCheck assessments, but Steritech also offers broader food safety, hygiene, and brand standards audits, making it both a channel partner and a competitor for facility assessment work.

Emerging players

• FoodDocs: FoodDocs provides digital food safety management systems including HACCP plans, allergen control programs, and training for restaurants and food manufacturers. While broader in scope, its allergen management and training features overlap with MenuTrinfo's AllerCheck assessments and AllerTrain training.
• Allergen Control Solutions: Allergen Control Solutions specializes in allergen management consulting, validation, and training for food manufacturers. While smaller in scale than MenuTrinfo, it overlaps in providing VITAL (Voluntary Incidental Trace Allergen Labeling) program support, allergen risk assessments, and food industry training.

Broad incumbents

• NSF International: NSF is a major global food safety certification, testing, and training organization with established accreditations across food, water, and consumer products. NSF offers allergen management services, gluten-free certification, and food labeling support that compete directly with MenuTrinfo's CFF and nutritional analysis offerings, though as part of a much broader portfolio.
• Eurofins Scientific: Eurofins is one of the world's largest food testing laboratory networks, offering allergen testing, gluten-free verification, and nutritional analysis services. It competes with MenuTrinfo's allergen testing methodology and CFF certification through its extensive lab footprint and B2B testing contracts with food manufacturers.
• TÜV SÜD: TÜV SÜD is a global certification body offering food safety, allergen management, and product certification services. It competes with MenuTrinfo in third-party certification programs for food manufacturers, particularly for products marketed as allergen-free or gluten-free in international markets.
• Intertek: Intertek is a global testing, inspection, and certification company offering food safety audits, allergen testing, gluten-free certification, and quality assurance programs. It competes with MenuTrinfo in CPG certification and allergen-related food safety services through its extensive international footprint.

Others

• Food Safety Magazine / FARE: FARE is the largest US food allergy advocacy organization and a strategic partner of MenuTrinfo. While not a direct commercial competitor, FARE shapes consumer awareness, education, and advocacy around food allergies that drives demand for MenuTrinfo's training and certification services. FARE's research and policy work also influences regulatory developments MenuTrinfo benefits from.
