Why nutrition and allergens matter

02
One source of truth
Change an allergen or vendor label on an ingredient and every recipe, label, and menu item updates.
03
Compliance without a third party
Export print-ready Nutrition Facts from your actual recipe yield when RFPs or auditors ask.

A wrong allergen is not a typo. It is a returned tray or a resident at risk.
Catering and institutional kitchens cannot afford allergen notes trapped in a binder while the recipe in the system still says something else. Nutrition requests should not mean rebuilding a spreadsheet every quarter.
Take catering seriously
Retention starts with the guest trusting what is on the label, the storefront, and the box going out the door.

Allergen rollup
Tag once. Every dish downstream updates.
Assign definite, potential, and trace allergens on ingredients. Sub-recipes roll into parent recipes. Menu items inherit the union. Packing labels and the storefront read the same source.

- Toggle storefront allergen display per menu item
- Account-level allergen library in settings
Nutrition sources
USDA, vendor labels, or custom profiles
Not every ingredient matches USDA cleanly. Enter Nutrition Facts from the vendor SKU you actually buy, link USDA reference data, or hand-enter a custom profile. Pick the source per ingredient and recipe labels roll up from there.
- Vendor item label entry with serving size and full nutrient panel
- Preferred vendor label flows to the linked ingredient automatically
- Switch source: USDA, vendor label, or custom per ingredient
- Recipe overrides and FDA export when you need a formal panel

Nutrition & allergens FAQ
How do allergens roll up in Prep Station?
Tag allergens on each ingredient. They propagate through recipes, sub-recipes, and menu items automatically. Change an ingredient allergen and every downstream dish updates.
Can I enter nutrition from a vendor product label?
Yes. On any vendor item, enter Nutrition Facts from the packaging label, including serving size and nutrient values. When that vendor item is the preferred supplier for an ingredient, the label data can flow into recipe nutrition calculations.
Can I print FDA-style nutrition labels?
Yes. Recipes calculate nutrition per serving from USDA-linked ingredients, vendor label data, or custom profiles, then export a Nutrition Facts panel as HTML or PDF.
Can I override a nutrition value?
Yes. Hand-correct a value on the recipe when lab analysis or vendor data differs from the USDA rollup.
Do clients see allergens on the storefront?
Yes. Turn on allergen display per menu item and clients see allergens in product details before they add the item to cart.
What allergen presence types are supported?
Definite, potential, and trace levels roll up from ingredient assignments so kitchen and compliance teams see how confident each flag is.
Do packing labels include allergens?
Yes. Label templates can include allergen blocks that pull from the same rollup as recipes and menu items. See the labeling feature for batch print workflows.
Can I create ingredients from USDA nutrition data?
Yes. Link ingredients to the USDA nutrition database so nutrition facts and yields start from authoritative food reference data.
