How accurate is the analysis?

We are analyzing your child’s food intake not only for nutrients, but also for diversity and overall balance against the latest consensus in pediatric health and nutrition. The analysis also takes into account specific requirements based on gender, age, weight and level of physical activity. Assuming we are able to get high quality data about your child’s food & drink intake, the analysis will be fairly accurate to draw reasonable conclusions.
For the purpose of our analysis, we will be working with internationally established average nutrient values for common foods such as potatoes, bananas, etc. which is more than sufficient to draw reasonable conclusions. Please note, that for example, nutrients in a banana change depending on conditions that are out of our control– e.g. the soil it was grown in, the ripeness of the fruit the moment it was eaten, or the specific variety your child ate. While all of this will influence the nutrients it contains (in absolute terms) it is not significant for the purpose of NutriCheck as these variations are negligible.
