Response from Chefnology re "Inaccurate software program" review - J. Janssen, Mar 06, 2008

At Chefnology, we base our information on the most trustworthy source we can find, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. The erroneous data value for Splenda came directly from this database, release SR18. Therefore, one can assume any program that uses the USDA database as reference would have also had this error. We have further verified the nutritional calculations extensively using several professional texts (including Professional Cooking by Giisslen, a book used by professional cooking schools and chefs, that comes with nutrition software included) and in every case the results agreed.

When Julie initially contacted us we thanked her for alerting us to this and apologized for any issues this incorrect value may have caused, explaining that we can only be as accurate as the data we have been provided. We further explained that though we check through the information for accuracy and user friendly naming, being a small company we rely on our customers to let us know when a discrepancy may have been missed so we can research it, make the correction and issue an update or notice. The only specific problem that Julie was able to point out to us was the incorrect calorie value for Splenda. Thanks to her contacting us, this issue has been corrected in the current release. We asked her for details of the other "errors" but she did not provide any. As it is an easy procedure to correct this one database entry, or to add a new item for Splenda with the correct values, we offered Julie a way to correct the problem in her program while awaiting the update. Julie chose instead to ask for a refund, which we provided without hesitation. This being the case, we do not feel she really gave the product a full evaluation before giving this feedback.

Chefnology is a unique company in that we are not a large corporation nor are we backed by one. Every person who works for us is also a user of the product as are their family and friends. We feel that this enables us to make our product be the most comprehensive and complete for the average person as well as the many food professionals who have purchased and use our product on a daily basis. We value our customers and will when needed, work closely with individuals to make sure they are getting the most from the program, even adding features that are requested, such as Label Making. We ask that if you are considering purchasing NutriCook, that you make the evaluation yourself, we are confident that you will agree with our many satisfied customers that this is a valuable program delivering exactly what is promised.

Inaccurate software program - Julie Adams, Oct 19, 2007

I purchased this program directly from the manufacturer, Chefnology Software. I put in two recipes and immediately noticed errors. The most obvious was that the software had Splenda (no calorie sweetener) as having calories (23 calories in two little packets)!!! I needed an accurate program for my husband's restricted diet, and this is not the program for that. If you are looking for accuracy, don't buy this program. (Chefnology Software apologized and gave me a full refund.)
