Along with the Labels, the program will also automatically create ingredient statements, which can be edited and displayed on the Label page.
The top pane lists Ingredients in the order they were entered into the Recipe and shows their alternate or simplified Ingredient Statement Names and Sub-Ingredients if applicable. The middle pane lists Ingredients by weight. The bottom pane shows how the Ingredient Statement will appear on the Label.
There are a variety of ways to list the items for your ingredient statement. Items can be listed as is, or listed by user-created Ingredient Statement Names. Items in sub-Recipes (Recipes within a Recipe) can be listed singly, merged or expanded, again, as is, or by user-created Ingredient Statement Names.
The following explanations apply only if you are using a Recipe within a Recipe. SINGLE ITEMS When sub-Recipes are listed as single items, the sub-Recipe is appears in the Ingredients window as a single item without its ingredients listed. Example: Seasoning would appear simply as “Seasoning” without listing the ingredients of the seasoning (garlic powder and salt, for instance). The Ingredient statement would read: Salt, sunflower seeds, seasoning.
EXPANDED The sub-Recipe appears in the Ingredients pane with its individual ingredients also displayed - indented and in order by weight — directly below it. In the final Ingredient statement, these items will be enclosed in parentheses immediately following the sub-Recipe’s name. Example: The ingredient statement would read: Salt, sunflower seeds, seasoning (salt, garlic powder). Note that in this example, salt is listed twice. It is both an ingredient of the subcomponent and an ingredient of the foodlist. List by expanded items
MERGED The sub-Recipe ingredients are listed individually by weight, but the name of the sub-Recipe is not listed. If there is another occurrence of the same ingredient in the full Recipe, the items will be combined and the summed value will be placed in its correct position by percentage of total weight. For example: The salt from the sub-Recipe and the salt from the Recipe are “merged” and appear as a single ingredient. The ingredient statement would read, Sunflower seeds, salt, garlic powder. List by merged items

The ESHA database provides alternate ingredient statement names for items that are believed to be single ingredients. Common or usual names are used.
Users may need to edit any given ingredient statement name to fit their specific situation. For example, the chemical function of an item is not included in the ESHA ingredient statement name, so the user will need to add this as appropriate.
Users will need to add their own ingredient statement names for foods made up of more than one ingredient.
Users can decide whether or not to include ingredients that are present in insignificant amounts on the ingredient statement.
All foods with the same ingredient statement name will be listed as one item on the ingredient statement.
For more detailed information regarding the ingredient statement rules, see the Code of Federal Regulations, 101.4: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_03/21cfr101_03.html
Mexico label regulations require the grouping of Added Sugars in parenthesis and listed by weight after "Added Sugars." Genesis R&D will do this automatically if the Ingredients have been designated as sugars. (Edit Ingredient > Designations)
