Escape Velocity Systems Announces Nutritional Labeling Module for O2 Food ERP

May 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Boulder, CO --  Escape Velocity Systems (EVS) based in Boulder, Colorado, today announced the release of the new O2 Nutritional Labeling module.  O2’s Nutritional Labeling module completely integrates with the USDA's National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.  This data is the foundation of most food and nutrition databases in the US, used in food policy, research and nutrition monitoring as the US national standard.
