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.
Scroll down to the Nutrition section and you will see the list of ingredients
Step-by-step guide
Step 1. On the Recipe Info Ingredient Page you can click on an ingredient.
Step 2. This opens the follow up page where you choose a nutrition database, this will be from Brakes, Bidvest or FSA nutrition.( Ensure that the Nutrition Supplier you choose is the same supplier for the product)
For example if you get milk from Brakes use the Brakes products for nutrition.
- The FSA Nutrition is a generic database also provided to use where you may not agree with nutrition information from supplier(Refer to your Company Policy on the use of FSA Nutrition Information)
- In the search box enter a brief description of the product you want to supply the nutrition data for and click on the product you want to match with.
Step 3. When you select a product from Nutrition Provider the system will advise you that the Nutrition has been updated for that product.
Repeat for each product in the dish so that the nutritional information is correct.
The Nutrition information will appear on the Recipe information page per 100g.
This information will also show n your recipe PDF Cards to show in 100g (Subject to activation as a client option, refer to your Gatekeeper for activation.)
