Declare the presence of allergens

To declare the presence of allergens and set warning or advisory statements for a document:

1. In the open document, click the Nutrients & Components or Overrides tab.
2. On the left, click the category that you wish to work with—Warning Statements, Advisory Statements, or Allergens.
3. For Warning Statements and Advisory Statements, click in the Override column and select either Yes or No.
4. Click the down arrow to move to the next and continue to set the status for all the warning and advisory statements.
5. For Allergens, click in the Override column and select one of Yes, No, or Maybe.(Yes generates a Contains statement, Maybe a May contain statement)
6. Click the down arrow to move to the next allergen and continue to set the allergen status for all the allergens.
7. Optionally, type a note in the Notes column.

Tips

• If you do not set the status for all the allergens and warning and advisory statements shown, then FoodWorks displays warnings at the bottom of the document pane.
• If you do not see warning statements, advisory statements or the allergens you require on the Nutrients & Components or Overrides tab then these need to be enabled for this database—see Enable nutrients, components and allergens for a database.

Notes

• Recipes inherit the allergen declarations set in their ingredients. You can override any allergen values set in the ingredients of a recipe by setting the allergen declarations on the Overrides tab in the recipe itself.
• To control how allergens are displayed in the labels for this database, see Set advanced label properties for ingredients and allergens.

• A document tab can be hidden or have a different name depending on the document template used. For example, the Nutrients & Components tab might be called Nutrients; or the Notes tab, Remarks. For more information on document templates, see What is a document template?
