Declare a recipe or sub recipe as a compound ingredient

When you use a sub recipe or recipe as an ingredient, you can declare it as a compound ingredient. It then appears in the final recipe's ingredient list as its declaration name followed by its own ingredients in brackets, for example tomato sauce (tomatoes, sugar, salt).

There are two ways to set the ingredients shown in brackets:

• Compound ingredient: you write the ingredient statement yourself. This overrides the recipe's actual ingredients on the label.
• Compound ingredient from ingredients: Foodworks generates the statement from the recipe's ingredients, so it stays up to date when the recipe changes.

Write your own ingredient statement

1. Open the sub recipe or recipe and click Edit.
2. On the General tab, from the Label declaration dropdown, select Compound ingredient.
3. In Declaration name, enter the name to appear in the ingredient list.
4. Enter the ingredient statement to use when it is 5% or more of the final food.
5. From the Statement (<5%) setting dropdown, select what to show when it is less than 5% of the final food.
6. Optional: In Ingredient group, select an existing group or type a new one. See About ingredient groups.

Changes save automatically. When you're ready, click Publish.

Generate the statement from the ingredients

1. Open the sub recipe or recipe and click Edit.
2. On the General tab, from the Label declaration dropdown, select Compound ingredient from ingredients.
3. In Declaration name, enter the name to appear in the ingredient list.
4. Optional: In Ingredient group, select an existing group or type a new one. See About ingredient groups.
