How do the food processors figure out the food products’ Nutrition Facts?

Ex. How do the food processors figure out how many calories (and so on) are in a granola bar?

    they calculate the igredients they put in and how much they put in the granola bar and record it and then they add it up.

    all my food processor does is chop food. You must have a much better one then I have.

    2 or 3 ways:

    * count the calories + nutrients on ingredients per serving

    * send 6 samples of each kind to a lab. and have them analyzed (more accurate, cost more)
