Nutritionale

Nutritionale is an adjective used to describe things related to nutrition. It is not a standard English term and appears mainly as a loanword, a stylistic variant in marketing, or in multilingual texts that blend Romance-language forms. In formal writing, the corresponding terms are nutritional (English), nutritionnel (French), nutrizionale (Italian), and nutricional (Spanish). The form "nutritionale" should be treated as nonstandard in formal contexts.

Usage of the word tends to be limited to branding, product labeling, or speculative discussions about language influence. If encountered, it usually signals a focus on nutrition, but it does not indicate a distinct academic discipline. There is no field officially titled "nutritionale"; the established discipline is nutrition science or dietetics.

In practice, writers aiming for precision should use the conventional terms appropriate to their language. On packaging and regulatory materials, information about energy, macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals is described using terms such as nutritional information, nutrition facts, the nutrient profile, or the dietary information required by local regulations.
