About Allergen Groups Available to Your Account
A priority allergen group is managed by the MealSuite Nutrition Services team, and is available to your account to assign to people profiles. In addition, an account has the ability to make its own allergen groups. When an account creates an allergen group (i.e., owns the allergen group), that allergen group is available to it and any of its child accounts.
Displaying the Allergen Groups Available to your Account
To display the allergen groups available to your account, complete the following steps:
- From the left navigation pane, select Tools & Setup > Allergen & Preference Groups.
- The Allergens & Preferences screen appears, with the Allergen Groups tab listed by default. This screen lists the allergen groups available to your account.
How Priority Allergen Groups are Identified
The MealSuite system tracks food allergies from the following priority allergens groups identified in the USA and Canada:
- Crustaceans
- Eggs
- Fish
- Milk
- Peanuts
- Sesame
- Shellfish
- Soy
- Sulphites
- Tree Nuts
- Wheat
A priority allergen group can contain hundreds or thousands of food items (ingredients and prepared foods) that is managed by the MealSuite Nutrition Services team.
These priority allergen groups on the Allergens & Preferences screen are identified with the logo related to your system (e.g., the MealSuite logo is seen for the MealSuite system)
