Why do some companies furnish this info and others don't?
This is a very very responsive small company to tell you that. THIS is behavior that should be rewarded
You dont reward Haagen Dazs (who reveals because they are legally required to, not because they want to) because she was generous enough to reveal enough of her recipe knowledge to know that she was on the butterfat range of HD.
It is extremely expensive to generate
legal calorie and nutrition info. Annoyingly the law will not allow someone like Amy to simply plug her ingredients into Fitday and provide that information even with the disclaimer that the nutrition information is only an estimate. They actually have to go through quite a bit of hoops. And they arent any more accurate when they do that.
Her decision that as a small company she can not afford to do it (but giving you what she can) is not anywhere on par with a large company like Red Robin who for many years refused to give nutrition information even when requested because they simply did not want you to know. (dont know if this has changed now that they have restaurants in full disclosure states)
