New Label Report for Recipes and Menus: Product Identifier Cards
The new Product Identifier Cards report generates retail labels of selected recipes. Typically a product identifier card is used for buffet and catering items. The report can be generated from selected recipes or menu items.
A product identifier card consists of the following:
- Recipe name
- Recipe description
- Any tags applied to recipes
- Logo (optional)
- Calories and fat content (optional)
- Retail price of the recipe (optional)
See Product Identifier Cards (Menus) or Product Identifier Cards (Recipes) for more information and instructions on running the report.
New Label Report for Recipes: Price Tags
The new Price Tags Labels report allows you to generate price tag labels for selected recipes of the same price.
Easier Access to Existing Recipe Label Reports
The recipe report types of Nutrition Label, Retail Label, and Nutrition & Retail Label are now each available as individual reports from the Recipe Reports screen via the Labels section.
New People Report: Personal Menu Nutritional Analysis Report
A new report has been released for the People module: Personal Menu Nutritional Analysis Report
For each person selected to be in the report, the Personal Menu Nutritional Analysis report displays the daily nutrient values from each personal menu item along with daily totals and ideal daily values. For each day of the week, a separate table is generated that lists each menu item cross-referenced with the nutrient values.

Update to the Personal Menu Nutrient Summary Report (People)
The Personal Menu Nutrient Summary Report (People) (released August 7, 2024), has been updated with the Include Also Available Menu Items option.
By default, the Include Also Available Menu items is not selected. If selected, then the nutrient calculation considers items from your scheduled Also Available (AA) menu for residents with the advanced ordering service type and table select service type.
Note that for residents with the non-select service type, the nutrient calculation does not consider items from your scheduled Also Available (AA) menu.
Retail Prices for Recipes
There is now the ability to enter a retail price for a recipe.
A recipe with a retail price can then be included for Product Identifier Cards (generated either from recipes or menu items), which are able to display prices (as per screenshot below).
For more information and instructions on entering or editing a retail price for a recipe, see Entering or Editing a Retail Price for a Recipe.
Dietary Reference Intake (DRI)
A new Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) age category has been added for diet types: DRI Pregnant < 18 yrs.
