Viewing Total Nutrition Content of a Recipe
To view the total nutrition content of the food items that make up a recipe, complete the following steps:
- Select Recipes > Recipes Listing. The Recipes screen appears.
- Locate the recipe to view using the filter and search functionality.
- Click the recipe’s name link. The recipe slide-out panel appears.
- Scroll down and expand the Nutritional Content section. The Nutrition Facts label is displayed.
What is the Base for Calculating Nutrient Values?
Nutrient values are calculated based on the estimated serving size. The estimated serving size is the sum of the edible portion (EP) amount of all ingredient divided by the serving number; see Understanding Estimated Serving Size of a Recipe for more information.
How Does a Recipe Pulls its Nutrient Values?
The food items (ingredients and prepared foods) that are included in a recipe are associated with one or more vendor products that are verified to match with the food item.
From a food item's associated vendor products, one is selected for that food item, which in turn determines the nutritional content of the food and the nutritional content of a recipe for which the food is an ingredient.
The system will automatically select the vendor product for the food item via its product-item selection logic. However, If needed you can manually select a different product for the food item. For more information, see the following articles:
- Verified Vendor Products and the Selected Product for a Food Item
- Selecting Vendor Products for Food Items
What Determines the Serving Size on the Nutrition Facts Label?
- If Portion Size is a Volume
- If Portion Size is a Weight
- If Portion Size is a Special Unit of Measure
If Portion Size is a Volume
If the Portion Size of the recipe is a volume measurement in millilitres, then the nutrition facts label displays the portion size in millilitres.
If the Portion Size of the recipe is a volume measurement in anything but millilitres (i.e., fluid ounces, quarts, litres, etc.), then the nutrition facts label displays the portion size volume followed by the equivalent millilitres in parentheses.
If Portion Size is a Weight
If the Portion Size is a weight measurement (i.e., ounces, grams, etc.), then the nutrition facts label displays the portion size weight followed by the estimated serving size in parentheses. The estimated serving size is the sum of the edible portion of each ingredient divided by the yield. See Understanding Estimated Serving Size of a Recipe for more information.
If Portion Size is a Special Unit of Measure
Viewing All Nutrient Values (i.e., Nutrient Values View)
To view all the nutrient values, click the nutrient values icon () and the Nutrient Values window appears (second screenshot below). The nutrient values are based on one portion size of the recipe.
Quick Method of Accessing Nutrient Values
On the Recipes Listing screen, you can click the gear icon for a recipe and select Nutrient Analysis to display the nutrient values window.
Viewing Nutrients of Each Ingredient (i.e., Nutrient Analysis View)
To view the nutrients of each ingredient in the recipe, click the nutrient analysis icon (), and the Nutrient Analysis window appears (second screenshot below).
