Commonly used terminolgy

Approve

When you Approve a Recipe or Ingredient, you will not be able to modify that Recipe/Ingredient again. Instead, if you make any changes, that Recipe/Ingredient will automatically be copied an opened as a new draft version. Previous versions will be uneditable and denoted by “V1,” “V2,” etc., at the end of the name.

Note: You can only use approved Recipes to build a label, and you can only approve a Recipe if all of its Ingredients are also approved.

Alias

An “Alias” is any term you can enter for your Recipe or Ingredient in addition to its full name. An Alias can be used in reports, but most frequently it will be used for your ingredient statement as a simplified version of a potentially long or complicated Ingredient name.

Example:

Ingredient name: Fruit, apple, small, 3 1/2”, Red Delicious

Alias: Red Delicious apple

Food/Food items

We use “food,” “food items” or “food” to refer to Recipes and Ingredients interchangeably, but only when an action can accommodate both. Example: When you are searching for an Ingredient or Recipe to add to your Recipe, the search will use the blanket term “food item.”

Genesis Items

Genesis Items are those database items that are included with your Genesis Foods program. There are approximately 100,000 foods, ingredients, and recipes.

Ingredient

Genesis Foods uses “Ingredient” with a capital I to refer to the Ingredient feature, Ingredients in the included database and Ingredients in the program created with that feature. Occasionally you might see “ingredient” in this manual when it refers to ingredients created elsewhere.

ItemCode

Each Genesis Item in the database is assigned its own unique alphanumeric code, call the ItemCode.

Label

Genesis Foods use “Label” to refer to the Nutrition Facts panel. Sometimes the term also encompasses the Nutrition Facts, the ingredient statement and the allergen statement. This occasionally conflicts with some industry usage of “label” to refer to a product’s entire printed packaging.

Recipe

Genesis Foods uses “Recipe” with a capital R to refer to the Recipe feature, Recipes in the included database and Recipes in the program created with that feature. Occasionally you might see “recipe” in this manual when it refers to recipes created elsewhere.
