A label-compliance consultant charges $400 to $800 per SKU and takes five business days. Pantry Diff catches the same drift — allergen call-outs, undisclosed additives, NOVA-class jumps, broken front-of-pack claims — in four minutes. Built for solo and small-team CPG founders running co-packer batches of 500 to 5,000 units.
Pantry Diff is a pre-print drift audit, not FDA review and not a legal compliance opinion. It cites Open Food Facts and published NOVA criteria — it does not replace your QA team or a food-law attorney. We flag any ingredient we cannot resolve, rather than guessing properties. The PDF carries this disclaimer on page one.

The math: a brand reformulating 6 SKUs per quarter spends $174 with Pantry Diff versus $3,000+ with a consultant retainer. The first reformulation pays for the year.

§ 04 — FAQ
No. Pantry Diff is a pre-print drift audit — it surfaces differences between an old printed label and a new co-packer spec, citing Open Food Facts and the published NOVA criteria (Monteiro et al., 2019). It is not a regulatory filing, a legal opinion, or a substitute for a food-law attorney or your QA team verifying against current 21 CFR 101. The PDF says this on page one. We built it to catch obvious drift before a 5,000-unit run, not to clear you for shelf.
Four minutes. Twenty-nine dollars. A printable, citation-backed audit you can hand to your co-packer or attach to a category-review packet.
