You can declare raw material on labels as a reconstituted ingredient. A reconstituted ingredient is and ingredient which is reconstituted, or rehydrated, using water. These ingredients are generally from a concentrate and require rehydration to be used in a recipe.
Optionally, you can also assign the raw material to an ingredient group, which means it can be grouped in the ingredient statements on labels (see Notes).
To declare a raw material as a reconstituted ingredient
- Open the raw material.
- On the General tab, click Label declaration.
- In the dropdown list, select Reconstituted ingredient.
- In the Declaration name box, enter the name you wish to use for this raw material when it is used as an ingredient.
- Optional: To assign this ingredient to an Ingredient Group, either type a new ingredient group name or select an existing group from the dropdown. See Notes.
- In the Statement (>5%) box, enter the statement for when this recipe or sub recipe is more than 5% of the final recipe.
- From the Statement (<5%) setting dropdown, select the statement for when recipe or sub recipe is less than 5% of the final recipe.
- In the Rate box, enter the ratio at which this recipe or sub recipe is reconstituted. For example, to dilute 1 to dilute 1 kg of the recipe with 4 kg of water, in the Rate box, enter 4.
- Click Save.
Notes: About ingredient groups
- Ingredient groups are categories you define – such as fruit, nuts, milk products – to group ingredients (whether a recipe, sub recipe or raw material) when they appear in the ingredient statement of a nutrition label. For example, if the raw materials cashews and almonds have been assigned to the group nuts, then they can appear in labels as nuts (cashews, almonds).
- When you create a new ingredient group by typing it into a resource, it is added to the dropdown list of ingredient groups, so you can then select it for other resources.
- To use an ingredient group in a label for a final recipe, set the properties for that recipe's label: Open the recipe, click the Labelling tab, then select the ingredient group.
