1. Navigating the Recipe Table

1.1 Select Recipe Value Type

Before you begin, choose whether you will provide Accurate or Band Values for the recipe percentage. If selecting Band, enter the average percentage in the % field.

1.2 Adding Rows

1. To add rows to the recipe table, enter a number in the box.
2. You can add a maximum of twenty rows at a time.
3. You can also move rows up or down using the Up and Down arrows.
4. The table starts with ten rows.

5. To delete any row in the recipe table, selecting it and click the Delete icon.
6. If an ingredient has sub-ingredients linked to it, you can choose to remove or keep them in the recipe table.

7. A scroll bar at the bottom allows you to navigate and answer all customer-specific questions for each ingredient.

Important: Use the scroll bar to navigate customer-specific questions for each ingredient. Answer all questions before submitting the specification.

2. Ingredient and Allergen Information

Note: The system now includes a glossary for single ingredients. If an ingredient is not in the glossary, contact support for consideration. You must have ingredients in the glossary to complete the recipe.

1. First, enter a numeric value for the ingredient percentage. For band values, use the average value (e.g., 75% for a band from 70% to 80%).

2. Tick the box in the A column if the ingredient is an allergen.
3. Then, select from the fourteen major allergens tracked in the system.
4. For others, choose Other and enter the allergen name.

Note: You can now bold allergens to meet regulatory requirements.

5. If the ingredient is a compound, select Yes.
6. You'll need to confirm which compound it belongs to if there's more than one in the recipe.
7. Each compound must have at least one sub-ingredient.

Declarations

Each new ingredient is automatically added to your Legal Ingredient Declaration. You can untick the box if you don't want to declare it.

1. Click Generate Legal Ingredient Declaration to create a list.
2. You can edit the declaration by simply typing in the box.

3. Identified allergens are shown in bold in the Allergen Declaration box after the ingredient name.
4. Ensure you answer allergen questions consistently in the recipe and specification.

3. Completing the Recipe

1. You can complete a recipe at any time.
2. However, if your recipe doesn't add up to 100%, you can still submit it, but you'll need to provide a reason in the pop-up box that appears when you save and close.

3. To complete your recipe, click Save & Close to check your allergen answers.
4. The system will identify any mismatches between the recipe and the specification.
5. Update your specification if needed. If all questions are complete, you can Submit the Specification.
