Setting up a new recipe is the first step in creating accurate nutrition labels and managing your recipes efficiently. Follow this guide to complete the Recipe Setup Page with all the necessary details.
1. Enter Basic Recipe Details
🔹 Recipe Name
Choose a name that clearly identifies your recipe.
🔹 Recipe Code (Optional)
Assign a unique recipe code to help easily track and identify your recipe in your system.
🔹 Number of Packages

📌 Example:
If a recipe batch creates 800g of cereal and is divided into 8 packages of 100g each, enter 8 packages.
🔹 Servings Per Package
Define how many servings are in each package of your product.
📌 Example:
If each 100g package of cereal has a recommended serving size of 50g, then there are 2 servings per package.
If you’re unsure of the serving size, refer to the reference amounts based on your market's regulations for example: FDA Reference Amounts Customarily Consumed (RACC) guidelines, or CFIA Reference Amounts (Canada)
