Add Nutrient Content Claims to the Label Display or other reports

  1. On the Recipe ribbon click Claims.

  2. You must set a Reference Amount for your Recipe. This will be based on the commonly eaten one-serving amount of your Recipe. You will either have already done so in Edit Recipe > Nutrient Content Claims or will be asked to do so here. Note: the reference amount must correspond to the country/regulations you are working with. In the U.S., reference amounts are collected in the RACC guidance.

  3. Check the Show boxes for Claims you want to be displayed on your label view. For Canada, the nutrient amounts must meet the qualifications for both the Reference Amount and Per Serving Amount.

  4. Click OK. The Nutrient Content Claims will appear on the Label page. 

If Nutrient Content claims do NOT appear 

  1. Go to Recipe > Edit Label > Object Properties > Nutrient Content Claim

  2. Check Show

You may wish to include reference amount comparisons if, for example, you’ve created a new version (say, reduced fat) of a product. You will need to have Recipes for both versions of this product to use the reference amount comparison. The program automatically determines which claims are allowable for the nutrients in your Recipe per this reference amount.

To choose the wording for specific nutrient

  1. Click the down arrow next to any given nutrient.

  2. Within, you can select from the available listings, for those that Qualify.  The left and middle of the screen shows the available terminology for your Recipe’s nutrient content claims. The right pane shows the regulatory information reference.  For each, you can expand the Qualifying Conditions to see the specifics of the regulations. 

  3. Select how you want the Content Claim to read.

  4. Click OK.

To include a reference recipe comparison for your Nutrient Content Claims

  1. Go to Recipe > Claims

  2. In the bottom of the dialog next to Reference Recipe: click the Select button.

  3. Enter a portion of the Recipe name to be used as a comparison (e.g. Regular Sour Cream) and Select it.

The Nutrient Content Claims information will appear on various reports.
