Recipes in Genesis Foods are built by searching for and adding Ingredients, much like creating a recipe in real life. You can build a Recipe for a variety of reasons — seeing how a change to an ingredient will affect the nutrient picture is one example — but the primary reason you will build a Recipe in Genesis Foods is to use it to generate a compliant Nutrition Facts Label for your product.
You can build a Recipe from food items (ingredients, recipes, processing items, etc.) included in the database that comes with Genesis Foods or you can add your own Ingredients.
This page discusses the differences.
To build a Recipe
Log in to Genesis Foods with your email and the password you received from your admin. You will land on the program Dashboard.
On the Dashboard, click New Recipe.
This will bring you to the Recipe page, from which you can access all the features needed for completing your Recipe.
Naming Your Recipe
Name
Your organization will likely have established best practices for naming that you should use. If not, we recommend that you agree on a naming system before you get started using Genesis Foods.
To name your Recipe
Type the name of your Recipe in the Name text field. The Name entry can accommodate letters and numbers. Example: Sweet potato soup, cooked, canned.
The name will also appear in the page’s header.
To clear out the name text
Click the round X icon.
To change the name
Type a new name in the Name field.
Aliases
An Alias is an optional shortened or more user-friendly version of your Recipe’s name. Aliases can be used in your ingredient statement or on reports. You can enter as many Aliases as you want for your Recipe.
For example, if the name of your Recipe is something like Sweet potato soup, cooked, canned, one Alias might be something like Sweet Potato Soup.
To enter an Alias
Type any alphanumeric combination in the text field
Press Enter on the keyboard
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for additional Aliases
Aliases will appear as pills in the order they were created.
To delete an Alias
Click the round X icon on the pill
Organizing and Searching - Tags, Supplier, Product
The Tags, Product, and Supplier fields can be used to make searching for your Recipe easier, and help you organize your work. This is especially important if you have a lot of Recipes or Ingredients.
Tags
You can associate a tag to a Recipe to narrow future searches.
To select a tag for your Recipe
Click in the Tags field. You will see a list of available tags.
You can also type in the search box to narrow this list.
Click a tag to add it to your Recipe.
You can do this for as many tags as you’d like. You will be able to use these tags in future searches.
Note: Many tags have been pre-populated for you. You can add to the list of available tags on the Options page.
To remove a tag from your Recipe
Click the round X icon.
Supplier and Product
You can associate a product and/or a supplier to your Ingredient for organization purposed or to simplify future searches.
Click in the Product or Supplier field
Use the type-ahead search to find a Product or Supplier
Click a Product or Supplier to add it to your Recipe.
Note: You can add Products or Suppliers the the program from the Options page.
Serving Size
Both the Recipe analysis and the required label nutrition data are based on the nutrient amounts per one serving of your Recipe. You can either divide your Recipe into a set number of servings or enter the weight for one serving.
To set your Serving Size, do one of the following
Choose A Recipe makes … and enter the number of servings.
Genesis Foods will divide the total amounts (of the Recipe’s weight and nutrients) by the number of servings to calculate the per-serving nutrient breakdown.
Choose A Serving is… and enter the amount and weight.
Genesis Foods will calculate the nutrient breakdown per the entered weight, regardless of the total Recipe amounts.
Note: The displayed will always reflect the total weight of all the Ingredients in the Recipe, regardless of the serving size or numbers of servings entered.
Formulation
The Formulation screen is where you add Ingredients or other food items and their amounts to your Recipe. Genesis Foods will use the nutrient data from the Ingredients to calculate the nutrient data for the Recipe, so it’s important to make sure that your Ingredient data is correctly populated before using the Ingredients in a Recipe.
Click Edit Recipe
On the Formulation screen that opens, click +Add New Food.
On the Search dialog, type words or partial words into the Search for Food Items field. You can narrow your searches with the filters at the top:
My foods only filters out the included database
Item Name will return only the food items with the search term(s) in the item name
Tags will let you search by tags
Custom Fields will return only the food items with that associated custom field
Item code will return only the included database items with that code. Note: This will not work if My foods only is selected
Gov. code will return only the included database items with that code. Note: This will not work if My foods only is selected
Supplier/Product will return only those food items that have been assigned that specific Supplier or Product
You can also toggle between Approved, Draft or All Items
Select the appropriate food from the search results by clicking on it. This adds it to the Recipe. Once you have added that Ingredient to your Recipe, it will not appear in the search results again.
Enter the amount by typing in a value and selecting the weight unit from the drop-down menu.
Continue entering the remaining foods in the same manner.
Note: Only weight units are available until you have added a volume or unit conversion to your Ingredient.
When you have completed this task, you will see your Ingredients listed in the order entered. You may, however, choose to sort them differently.
To sort by any column
Click its arrows. You can assort ascending or descending.
The Name column is sorted alphabetically
The Amount column is sorted numerically, regardless of unit
The Gram weight column is sorted by weight
To delete a food item from the Recipe
Click the trashcan icon
To return to the main Recipe page
Click Return to Recipe. Your Recipe is now viewable on the main Recipe page.
Nutrients and their Overrides
This is where you can see the per-serving nutrient analysis for your Recipe, shown in the example below as “Per 100 Grams.” You can also override the nutrient values if, for example, you have obtained a lab analysis that shows different results.
Search Nutrients
It can be helpful to use the search if you are viewing a long list of nutrients, like all of them.
To search for a particular nutrient, start typing its name in the Filter Nutrients field
Nutrient List
These are lists of specific nutrients. We recommend that you chose the same list here as you did when populating the nutrient values of your Ingredients. Some lists have been pre-populated for you, but you can also add your own lists on the Options page.
To select a nutrient list, choose it from the drop-down menu
The nutrients are listed in the order they will appear on your Label. If you have a longer list, the nutrients are listed by Label order followed by category.
Override
To override a nutrient
Click either the %DV number or the space in the Override column
Enter the new value. Notice that when you enter a new %DV, that nutrient’s quantitative value automatically updates, and vice versa.
Some of the nutrients do not have established %DVs. These are indicated by a grey background.
Conversions
Unit Conversion
Since the Recipe nutrient data is added by weight, you might want to add more user-friendly household measures to your Ingredient. In order to correctly add a conversion, you must know the weight of that conversion amount.
To add a Unit Conversion
Click the plus icon
Enter the conversion amount by typing in a quantity and selecting a household measure
Enter the weight for the corresponding amount
Click Apply.
You can add other unit conversions in the same manner. Genesis will also scale the units appropriately for common measures such as teaspoon (will scale to tablespoon, cup, etc.).
Volume Conversion
If you are creating a liquid Recipe, here is where you will enter the Volume Conversion. The program will use this conversion to display an appropriate liquid amount on the Label. You can only add one liquid conversion per Recipe.
To add a Volume Conversion
Click the plus icon
Enter the volume conversion amount by typing in a quantity and selecting a volume measure
Enter the weight for the corresponding amount
Click Apply.
You can only enter — and will only need to enter — one volume conversion.
Yield Adjustments
Yield Adjustments are used to account for the losses to a food during the different types of processing (cooking, baking, broiling etc.).
The different types of Yield Adjustments are:
Moisture Loss/Adjustments
This is used to apply moisture losses to recipes so that the nutrition facts panel and reports can reflect the loss that happened during cooking or processing and account for any deviation from the original values.Fat Loss/Adjustments
This is used to apply fat loss to recipes so that the nutrition facts panel and reports can reflect the loss that happened during cooking and account for any deviation from the original values.Processing Adjustments
This is used to apply percent processing or cooking losses to recipes. When accounting for processing loss, it is important to note that it's the entire set of ingredients that is reduced. Exampe: While making cookies, some of the cookie dough could be lost to the assembly line or kitchen counter, oven, tasting, etc. This is called processing loss and is calculated in percent to account for the difference between the initial value and the final value.
NOTE: Yield Adjustments only apply to recipes. They do not apply to ingredients.
Moisture Adjustments
The Moisture Adjustment is used to account for moisture (in the form of water) lost during cooking. In order to get the final (post-cooking) nutrient amount to be accurate, you have to account for the moisture loss and the resulting change in weight, so you would enter the weight change (either by percent or by weight) into the moisture adjustment field. You can do so by weighing your Recipe before and after cooking.
Example:
Enter all of the ingredients for bread. The resulting dough weighs 12 pounds. You know that this 12 lb. of dough contains 12g of calcium. You have entered "Serving Size Weighs" 1 lb., which gives you 12 servings of bread with 1 g of calcium in each serving.
Cook the bread. Now it weighs 10 pounds, and it still has 12g of calcium and each serving must still weigh 1 pound. So now you have only 10 servings… but still 12 g of calcium, which means each 1 lb. serving of bread now has 1.2 g of calcium.
Apply the same principle to the use case when you enter a number of servings. But instead of the nutrient amounts changing, the per-serving weight will change.
Apply a Moisture Loss to your Recipe
Click Add Yield Adjustments
Select the Moisture/Fat Adjustment toggle
Select Loss as the Option under Moisture Adjustment and enter either a percent or a weight amount. Hint: if you are creating large batches, weigh a small portion of the batch before and after, and use the percent change. Note that the Moisture Value is displayed underneath. This will help prevent you from trying to enter a loss greater than the total existing amount of moisture. Genesis Foods will automatically update your Recipe to reflect the moisture adjustment and you can see this by going to the Nutrients and viewing Water. You will also see the change in the Yield Adjustments Summary and when you scroll to nutrients and view the Batch Yield (see image below).
Apply a Moisture Target to your Recipe
If you know the final, post-cooking amount of water that should be in your product, use Target. This may be an industry average for your product or a specific moisture content you’ve determined through lab analysis. The Target value will be the total percent of moisture (water) in the final product. It cannot be greater than the original moisture percent.
Click Add Yield Adjustments
Select the Moisture/Fat Adjustment toggle
Select Target as the Option under Moisture Adjustment and enter a percent. Note that the hint text shows you the range of moisture currently in the Recipe. You must enter a value in this range. Genesis will automatically update your Recipe to reflect the moisture adjustment and you can see this by going to the Nutrients and viewing water. You will also see the change in the Yield Adjustments Summary and when you scroll to nutrients and view the Batch Yield (see image below).
Fat Adjustments
The Fat Adjustment is used to account for fat lost during cooking. In order to get the final (post-cooking) nutrient amounts to be accurate, you have to account for the fat lost, the resulting change in the fat nutrients, and the resulting change in weight, so you would enter the weight change (either by percent or by weight) into the fat adjustment field. You can do so by weighing your Recipe before and after cooking or by collecting fat droppings and weighing those.
Fat Adjustment: Loss
To apply a Fat Loss to your Recipe
Click Add Yield Adjustments
Select the Moisture/Fat Adjustment toggle
Select Loss under the Option for Fat Adjustment and enter either a percent or a weight amount. Hint: if you are creating large batches, weigh a small portion of the batch before and after, and use the percent change. Note that the Fat Value is displayed underneath. This will help prevent you from trying to enter a loss greater than the total existing amount of fat. Genesis Foods will automatically update your Recipe to reflect the fat adjustment and you can see this by going to the Nutrients and viewing Total Fat. If you have original values entered for child fats (Saturated Fat, Polyunsaturated Fat, etc), you will also see those nutrients lowered by the same percentage. You can view the change in the Yield Adjustments Summary and when you scroll to nutrients and view the Batch Yield (see image below).
Apply a Fat Target to your Recipe
If you know the final, post-cooking amount of fat that should be in your product, use Target. This may be an industry average for your product or a specific fat content you’ve determined through lab analysis. The Target value will be the total percent of total fat in the final product. It cannot be greater than the original fat percent.
Click Add Yield Adjustments
Select the Moisture/Fat Adjustment toggle
Select Target as the Option under Fat Adjustment and enter a percent. (Only percent is available for Target.) Note that the hint text shows you the range of fat currently in the Recipe. You must enter a value within this range. Genesis Foods will automatically update your Recipe to reflect the fat adjustment and you can see this by going to the Nutrients and viewing Total Fat. If you have original values entered for child fats (Saturated Fat, Polyunsaturated Fat, etc), you will also see those nutrients lowered by the same percentage. You can view the change in the Yield Adjustments Summary and when you scroll to nutrients and view the Batch Yield (see image below).
Processing Loss
Processing can only be specified as a Loss, there is no Target for the Processing Adjustment. Processing acts like a scaling of your Recipe. If you specify a loss of 10 grams in Processing, your entire Recipe will lose 10 grams and its Nutrients will be affected accordingly.
To apply a Processing Loss to your Recipe
Click Add Yield Adjustments
Select the Processing Loss toggle
Enter a percent or a weight amount. Genesis Foods will automatically update your Recipe to reflect the processing loss and you can see this by going to the Nutrients and viewing all of the nutrients. They will all be reduced by the same percent. You can view the change in the Yield Adjustments Summary and when you scroll to nutrients and view the Batch Yield
Understanding the Yield Summary
The Yield Adjustment Summary takes into account any Ingredients from the Trustwell database you have entered in a pre-processing form (i.e. “Watermelon - Measure whole” or “As Purchased Raw”) and apply the cooked/processed form of that Ingredient before applying the yields you add here. This is the “Starting Amount.”
Remove Yield Adjustments
To remove a single Yield Adjustment
Delete the percent or weight value entered
Wait for the auto-save.
To remove all Yield Adjustments
Click Remove Yield Adjustments. This will remove all Yield Adjustments and collapse the Yield Adjustment section
It should be noted that while you can assign all three Yield Adjustments to a single Recipe, the best practice is to reproduce in Genesis Foods what is done in the kitchen. If all three adjustments are made to a single recipe, the Processing adjustment will always be taken first. If your processing loss occurs after you have cooked your product, then you should only apply a Moisture/Fat adjustment to your Recipe, save it, and then use the ‘cooked’ Recipe as a Sub-recipe in another Recipe to which you then apply a Processing adjustment.
Attributes
An attribute is any property (bioengineered, vegan, gluten-free, etc.) of a food item you want to track for labeling, marketing or other purposes.
A Recipe qualifies as that attribute (vegan, gluten-free, bioengineered, etc.) depending on one of two situations:
At least one of the Recipe’s ingredients has that attribute (example: bioengineered); or
All ingredients have that attribute (example: vegan)
Let’s look more closely.
Example: Bioengineered.
The regulations require any product with detectable bioengineered (BE) material to say so on the package.
This means any Recipe that contains at least one Ingredient with detectable BE material qualifies. (“Detectable” is any amount unless inadvertent or technically unavoidable and less than 5% for that ingredient.)
The rule for BE is “At least one.”
You have assigned BE to one or more of your Ingredients.
Therefore, this Recipe qualifies as BE.
Example: Vegan
Regulations do not require you to display “Vegan” on your package. If, however, you choose to voluntarily declare “Vegan,” then all of the Ingredients in your product have to be vegan.
The rule for Vegan is “All.”
You have assigned Vegan to all of this Recipe’s Ingredients.
Therefore, this Recipe qualifies as Vegan. But, if you have only assigned Vegan to five out of six Ingredients, say, then this Recipe is not vegan, and does not qualify for a “Vegan” declaraion.
Qualifying Attributes are displayed in this section and in your reports.
Optional: Preparation Instructions
The Prep Instructions are text fields that will not affect any of your Recipe’s other elements or its analysis. They’re here merely to let you record any instructions you need for the preparation of your Recipe.
Ingredient Statement
The Ingredient Statement preview displays your Ingredient Statement and lets you copy it as it is displayed.
To Copy your Ingredient Statement
Click the copy icon. The text is copied to your clipboard
Open any word-processing or design software and paste it. The text will be pasted as plain text, without any formatting
To Edit your Ingredient Statement
Click Edit Ingredient Statement. This opens the Ingredient Statement page
Edit Ingredient Statement
Generated Statement
The Generated Statement is automatically updated when you make modifications.
Modify Ingredients
On the left side of the Modify Ingredients section are your ingredients listed by weight, which is the order they must appear in the ingredient statement.
Highlight any Ingredient in that list to open its options on the right side of the section
Selecting Existing Alias
If your ingredient has any existing aliases associated with it, you can select those here. If not, you can enter one in the field below.
Supplemental Text
Before
Anything entered here will appear before the ingredient
After
Anything entered here will appear after the ingredient. This is often where you would add a footnote indicator, such as an asterisk
Food Item State
Food Items states are only relevant for Food Items (Recipes or Ingredients) that have sub-ingredients. There are various options for how you can display the sub-ingredients in the Ingredient Statement.
Let’s use as an example, a Recipe that contains the Ingredient Salt and the Recipe Ketchup. The Ketchup has its own sub-ingredients: Tomatoes, Water, Sugar, Salt.
Without any modifications, the Ingredient statement would look like this:
INGREDIENTS: Ketchup (Tomatoes, Water, Sugar, Salt), Salt.
Expanded
This is the default state. Selecting Expanded will display the Ingredient (or its selected Alias) and list any child Ingredient(s) in parenthesis after the Ingredient, and the Ingredient Statement will look like this:
INGREDIENTS: Ketchup (Tomatoes, Water, Sugar, Salt), Salt.
Merged
Selecting Merged will discard the name of the parent Ingredient (“Ketchup”) and merge any items from the sub-Ingredients with like Ingredients in the rest of the Ingredient statement. Because the Ingredient Statement lists ingredients by weight, this could change the order of ingredients. In our example, Genesis Foods would merge the two instances of salt and the Ingredient Statement will look like this:
INGREDIENTS: Tomatoes, Water, Salt, Sugar.
Single Item
Selecting Single Item will only show the name of the parent Ingredient and not its sub-ingredients. Using the same example, the Ingredient Statement will look like this:
INGREDIENTS: Ketchup, Salt.
Custom
Selecting Custom will display the Edited Ingredient Statement text from a sub-Recipe’s own Ingredient Statement without the title, header, or any footnotes. In our example, let’s assume that the Ketchup Recipe’s original Ingredient Statement was edited and finalized as:
INGREDIENTS: Tomatoes, water, table salt, fructose*
*from corn
The Custom option would choose that edited statement, and the Ingredient Statement now would look like:
INGREDIENTS: Tomatoes, water, table salt, fructose, salt.
Ingredient Statement Options
Ingredient Statement Title
The title will default to “Ingredients” in all caps. This is standard. You may, however, wish to use a different word for the title or a different case.
To change your ingredient statement title
Type the new text.
Ingredient Statement footnote
If you have added an asterisk indicating a footnote to an ingredient, you must also create the footnote.
To create and add text to a footnote
Type in an * asterisk.
Type the footnote text.
Use “CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF”
Any ingredient that makes up less than 2% of the product can be indicated as such by putting those ingredients after “CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF” in your Ingredient statement.
Click Yes to use that section.
If sulfites are present, display as
When sulfites are present in your Recipe at 10ppm or more, you must declare that somewhere on your packaging. Industry best practices have been to put that declaration at the end of your Ingredient statement. The program will automatically display a sulfite statement when the threshold is exceeded. Here you choose which statement to use.

The Ingredient Statment will reflect any edits or formatting you made
Allergens
Because it is a consumer health concern, Genesis Foods has put in place a few safeguards to prevent you from creating an inaccurate allergen statement for your products. As such, the program requires you to set up your allergens correctly at the Ingredient level and limits the adjuments you can make at the Recipe level.
The Ingredient allergens will determine the Recipe allergens. In the example below, one or more of the Ingredients contains Milk, Abalone, Soy, Tree Nuts and/or Wheat. Specific species/types are required on the allergen statement for Fish, Shellfish and Tree Nuts. Note that, in this example, Shellfish and Tree Nuts also display their species/type, and only the species/type appears in the statement preview.
Because the allergens are rolled up from the Ingredient level, Genesis Foods limits how you can move them at the Recipe level.
The color of an arrow will indicate if it can be moved in that direction: A dark arrow indicates that it can; a lighter grey arrow indicates that it cannot.
You can move an allergen:
From the Not Present bucket to the May Contain bucket
From the Not Present bucket to the Contains bucket
From the May Contain to the Contains bucket
You cannot move any allergen in the opposite direction except to return it to its original bucket.
To move an allergen, do one of the following:
Click the right or left arrow
Click and hold the grip icon to drag it to another bucket
To reset the Allergens back to their original state (as determined by the Ingredients):
Click Reset Allergens
When the dialog opens asking if you’re sure, click I understand.
If you want to use either statement on your food product packaging, you can copy them as text and paste them into a word-processing or design document.
Labels
Any Labels you have previously created that use this Recipe will be listed here, and you can Show by Regulation.
