Introduction
Nutritional Information is currently received automatically from Bidfood and Brakes. Where users need to tag nutrition data to an ingredient in a recipe that is not available from one of these suppliers, the user can search the FSA database and select a generic ingredient with the nearest match to add the nutrition data to a recipe.
Assumptions
- That you are using Recipes and have the Nutrition option activated
- You have Permission to edit recipes
Where to find this
Open recipe manager and search for and open a dish you have created and want to enter nutrition data for.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1. Scroll down to the Nutrition section and you will see the list of ingredients. If an ingredient is black this denotes that it has been supplied by either Bidfood or Brakes/Woodwood and therefore the nutrion data is 'read only' i.e. it cannot be edited. All other ingredients will be red to denote that you can click on them like the example below
Step 2. Click on the ingredient in red you want to tag nutrition for and then select FSA in the drop down list, and enter the ingredient name and select search,
Step 3. Then select the ingredient that most closely matches the one in the recipe and the method of cooking. This will add the FSA designated nutrition data to that product in your recipe
NOTE 1: Any ingredient that has been manually tagged with nutrition data as above will always remain red and clickable (in case you want to re tag it to another product in future). Only Bidfood and Bidvest nutrition data remains black and is not editable.
NOTE 2: The FSA data is based on the nutrition data per 100g of ingredient (just like Bidfood and Brakes). So if your ingredient pack size in the recipe is set at anything other than grams, 'weight' in red will automatically appear next to that product in the nutrition section of the recipe as below.
You will therefore need to select 'weight' and enter the required quantity of that ingredient for that recipe:
And the recipe will automatically calculate the nutrition for that quantity of ingredient
