Carbon labelling solutions for the food industry. Auto-calculate a recipe's carbon footprint per serving and add it to your food labels.
The food industry is responsible for more than 25% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. The My Emissions rating system has made it as easy as possible for food companies and consumers to understand the environmental impact of food. Easily track and reduce the carbon emissions of your recipes by storing all your data in a visualised dashboard.

Easily track and reduce the carbon emissions of your recipes by storing all your data in a visualised dashboard.
Understand your carbon emissions baseline, identify emission hotspots, set emissions reduction targets, track progress, and access clear data insights to inform sustainability marketing initiatives.
Carbon labelling is also known as carbon footprint labelling. It's when you add details to a product's label that displays its carbon footprint.Carbon labelling involves measuring the greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product’s life cycle. Then applying that measurement to the product’s packaging or label. The product life cycle includes the production, packaging and distribution. Carbon labelling encourages consumers to choose products with lower environmental impact.

Built directly into the Kafoodle recipe database, users have to tick the ‘calculate carbon footprint’ options once
creating a recipe to calculate the carbon score.
Users can view a recipe’s carbon rating from the recipe home screen or the Carbon Footprint Datasheet for a more detailed overview of an account’s recipe’s performance that can be exported and further analysed.
Quickly add a recipe’s carbon footprint score to food labels by selecting the option inside the label template builder or download the carbon rating label as a PNG file for external use, such as marketing activities.
My Emissions utilises a data-driven life cycle assessment approach to measure the carbon footprint of food products and meals accurately.
We collect relevant data from our clients and supplement this with secondary research from peer-reviewed journals. Our secondary data is regularly updated to include the latest values from life cycle assessments.
All values are calculated in ‘CO2e’, which means ‘carbon dioxide equivalents’. This is the standard measurement of all greenhouse gas emissions, where each gas is assigned an equivalent impact when compared to carbon dioxide. For more information on this, please visit the Eurostat website.
My Emissions technology will not take into account any offsetting when calculating the carbon rating. Carbon labels are based on the emissions a food produces.
No. Most LCAs follow the ISO 14040 Standard, relying on significant primary data. LCAs are usually offered by consultancies and require a lot of time and money. The My Emissions food carbon calculator has developed a data-driven approach which builds on LCA methodologies, offering similarly reliable carbon calculations but requiring less time and money.
Carbon labelling: is the calculation and display the carbon footprint of food, products or meals.
Carbon neutral: is the process of calculating the carbon footprint of a product or business and offsetting these emissions with alternative methods such as plating trees.
Net zero: is the process of calculating a business’ entire carbon footprint (scopes 1-3), creating a roadmap to reduce these emissions as much as possible, and offsetting the remainder to become effectively carbon neutral.
The thresholds are based on a statistical analysis of all the 3000+ foods in the My Emissions database and were audited by external consultants W2R Solutions.
My Emissions carbon labels rate a product or meal from A (Very Low) to E (Very High), based on the ‘per kg’ carbon footprint of the food.
