  • I use a shell recipe in the system (i.e., one without ingredients) for display purposes on tickets/personal menu/menu WaaG view. Can allergens be associated with a shell recipe?
  • Can allergens that are associated with a vendor product (that in turn is selected for a food item) be associated with a recipe when that food item is an ingredient for a recipe?

Viewing Allergens Associated with a Recipe

When an ingredient contained in a recipe belongs to an allergen group, then that recipe is also associated with the allergen group. 

You can see any allergen groups associated with a recipe by opening the recipe and expanding the Nutritional Content section. The system does not allow you to disassociate a recipe from an allergen group as it would pose a safety risk to the people you are serving.

FAQs

I use a shell recipe in the system (i.e., one without ingredients) for display purposes on tickets/personal menu/menu WaaG view. Can allergens be associated with a shell recipe?

No. Allergens are associated with an ingredient. Therefore the recipe must contain ingredients in order for the recipe to be associated with allergens. 

Can allergens that are associated with a vendor product (that in turn is selected for a food item) be associated with a recipe when that food item is an ingredient in a recipe?

No. Allergens that are associated with a vendor product do not migrate to a recipe. An allergen is associated directly with a food item, which in turn is assigned as an ingredient in a recipe.
