Regulations require the declaration of any allergens present in your food product. For this reason and, more importantly, for consumer-safety purposes, Genesis Foods must initially assume assumes that all Ingredients contain all allergens. |
Your tasks are to
determine the presence or absence of allergens in your food product
select the appropriate type or species when necessary
decide if you want to declare the possibility of allergens that may have contaminated the food during processing.
...
Scroll to the Allergens section and click Edit Allergens…..

Not correctly declaring an allergen on your package can have serious regulatory, financial and consumer-health consequences. As such, Genesis Foods includes a variety of allergen declaration safeguards.
When you first create an Ingredient, you will notice two things:
All of the allergens are in the Contains bucket
There are a number of alerts there and in the Contains Preview.
Your task, then, is to make sure the allergens are all in their correct bucket, and without alerts.
Contains or Not Present
Again, all of the allergens are initially in the Contains bucket. Everything here will appear in the allergen statement preview at the top, and certain allergens (fish, shellfish and tree nuts) require specific types or species. When you have determined that your product does not contain an allergen, you can move it to the Not Present bucket. All allergens will always be in one of the buckets. No allergens will be hidden, so you can always refer to the allergen section to see what allergen declaration decisions you made.
To move an allergen from the Contains to the Not Present bucket, do one of the following:
Click the right arrow
Drag and drop
Notice that when you move an allergen to the Not Present bucket, its alerts disappear.
Those allergens that remain in the Contains bucket will appear on your allergen statement. Remember, shellfish, fish and tree nuts must display the specific type or species.
To display a specific type or species
Click the link.
From the list, select the specific type or species. Use the type-ahead to narrow the selections.
Once you have selected the species, the alert will disappear and the species or type will appear in the Contains Preview in alphabetical order.
May Contain
The May Contain bucket lets you declare allergens that could be present in your food due to processing or other reasons. You are not required to declare these allergens, but if you do, you must also declare the specific type or species of fish, shellfish or tree nuts.
To move an allergen from the Contains to the May Contain bucket, do one of the following:
Click the right arrow
Drag and drop
To move an allergen from the Not Present to the May Contain bucket, do one of the following:
Click the left arrow
Drag and drop
Copy/Paste
Once you have set up your Contains (and/or May Contain) statement, you can copy either or both statements to the clipboard as plain text.
