Recipe management software for food companies

Stop running R&D
on spreadsheets.

Brix replaces the spreadsheet stack: recipe management, FDA-compliant nutrition labels, lab notebook, BOM exports, and cost rolls that update automatically. With an AI assistant that knows food science.

Sound familiar?

  • Recipes scattered across spreadsheets nobody trusts
  • Manual cost rolls that break every supplier price change
  • Nutrition labels you're not 100% sure are right
  • AI chatbots that can't see your actual recipes or data
  • BOM exports that take half a day to compile
  • Competitor analysis that lives in someone's head

Built and used daily inside a working CPG R&D lab

Brix is built by a working food scientist running R&D at a production CPG. Every feature exists because we hit the wall ourselves last Tuesday — not because a product manager imagined it. The label math, the cost rolls, the multi-plant model, the custom calcs — all forged in real formulation work.

How it works

From spreadsheet stack to running on Brix

01

Bring your data over

Import ingredients, recipes, and supplier specs via CSV — or drop in spec sheets and let AI extract them.

02

Link suppliers and costs

Tie every ingredient to multi-supplier specs, prices, and certifications. One ingredient master.

03

Costs cascade automatically

Update one supplier price — or bulk-import a sheet — and every recipe, sub-recipe, and product recalculates.

04

Generate labels and BOMs

FDA-compliant nutrition facts as print-ready vector PDFs. BOM exports for procurement, ERP, and co-mans.

05

Iterate in the Workbench

Projects, DOE support, lab notebook, version control. R&D workflow built around how formulators actually work.

Everything your R&D team needs in one platform

The full operational stack — replacing the patchwork of spreadsheets, shared drives, and tribal knowledge.

Formulation

Get your recipes in, then build on them.

Bring Your Data Over

Migrate the spreadsheet stack in an afternoon. CSV import, AI-assisted ingestion, and supplier spec extraction.

Formulation & Recipes

Ingredient library, sub-recipes, finished goods hierarchy, allergen tracking. Multi-supplier specs with full traceability.

Commercialization

Costs and BOMs that stay in sync with your formulas.

Cost Cascade + BOM Export

Update one ingredient cost — or bulk-import a supplier price sheet — and every recipe and product recalculates instantly. Export BOMs for your ERP, procurement, or co-man.

Multi-Plant Family/Sibling

One retail SKU, multiple plant-specific formulas with shared label settings. Update a co-man's formula without breaking the parent product.

Compliance & Specs

FDA-grade labels and full spec management built in.

Label Generation

FDA-compliant nutrition facts (21 CFR 101.9), allergen declarations, and claims validation. Print-ready vector PDF — drop directly into your label artwork.

Specs & Certifications

Internal specs, supplier spec compliance, and certification tracking with expiry alerts. Per-nutrient compliance tolerances.

R&D Workflow

The actual lab notebook and iteration tools — not a chat window.

Workbench

Projects with grouped recipe items and iterations. DOE support, lab notebook, and quick-add ingredients. The R&D workflow, not a chat window.

Reverse Engineer & Compare

Side-by-side recipe diffs, exploded views, and competitor benchmarking. Operational comparisons, not just AI suggestions.

Custom Calculations Engine

Overrun and yield are built in. Add your own — hydration ratio, IBU, brix, water activity — your category's math, first-class.

Why teams switch

Old way vs. Brix

Old way
With Brix
Recipes scattered across spreadsheets nobody trusts
One source of truth, version-controlled
Cost rolls break with every supplier price change
Automatic cost cascade across every recipe
Nutrition labels require manual double-checking
Print-ready FDA vector PDFs (21 CFR 101.9)
Multi-plant SKUs duplicated and out of sync
Family/Sibling structure built in
AI chatbots that can't see your formulations
AI connected to your actual data
Data locked in a vendor silo
Yours — export anytime via CSV, PDF, API, or MCP

AI Native

Built for the AI era — not retrofitted with a chat sidebar.

Most R&D tools bolted on an AI tab. Brix was built differently: AI inside every workflow, and your data open to any model or agent you bring.

AI in every workflow

Claude-powered assistant creates recipes, calculates nutrition, runs what-if cost scenarios, generates labels, and reverse-engineers competitors — all through natural language.

Unlike standalone AI tools, the AI works on your actual data: your ingredients, your suppliers, your recipes, your costs.

Your data, your way

Export anything to CSV or PDF, anytime. No walled garden, no lock-in.

Use Brix's AI assistant, or bring your own — Claude, ChatGPT, in-house tools. We don't lock you into one model or one workflow.

Frequently asked questions

How is Brix different from ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT is a chat tool — it sits on top of your spreadsheets and gives you suggestions. Brix is the system of record where your recipes, costs, labels, BOMs, and lab notebook actually live. AI is a feature inside Brix, not a substitute for Brix.

Does Brix produce print-ready nutrition facts?+

Yes. The calc engine implements FDA 21 CFR 101.9 — including mineral 2% DV thresholds, FDA rounding rules, and allergen declaration logic. Exports as a print-ready vector PDF with embedded fonts and DeviceGray color — drop directly into your label artwork or hand to your printer.

Can Brix handle multi-plant SKUs and co-mans?+

Yes. The Family/Sibling model lets one retail SKU have multiple plant-specific formulas with shared label settings. Update a co-man's formula without breaking the parent product.

Can I import my existing recipes from spreadsheets?+

Yes. Upload your ingredient master, recipes, and supplier specs as CSV — Brix matches them automatically. Or drag in supplier spec sheets and let the AI extract the data. Most teams migrate their full library in an afternoon.

How long does setup take?+

Minutes. Sign up, import ingredients via CSV or AI assist, and build your first recipe in the same session. No demo call required.

Is my data secure? Is it used to train AI?+

Your data is hosted in the US, encrypted at rest and in transit, and fully isolated from other companies' data. It is never used to train AI models — not Brix's, not Anthropic's, not anyone's. You own everything you put in and can export to CSV, PDF, or via API anytime. Cancel and take your data with you.
