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, only when an action can accommodate both.
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 included with your program.
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 I 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.
