Error and warning messages explained
In Nutrition Labelling, error and warning messages are shown for your raw material, sub recipe, and recipe resources. These messages are indicated by the notification bell at the top right of the resource window, as shown below.
Error and warning messages alert you to inconsistent values or missing mandatory information in your resources, which could contribute to incorrect nutrition labels.
It is recommended that you review and address all error and warning messages before exporting your nutrition labels.
Using error and warning messages
To view the messages for your resource
- Open your resource in Foodworks.
- Select the error and warning icon. The number of messages for the resource is displayed in red.
The list of error and warning messages for this resource is also displayed. See About the error and warning messages below for more.
-
Optional: You may want to pin relevant error or warning messages so that you can resolve the issues in your resource. To pin messages, select the
pin icon. These messages are now pinned to the bottom of the resource window and update dynamically as you make changes.
Errors and warnings in nested resources
Where an issue is present in a nested resource, it is best practice to fix the issue in the nested resource first.
As shown in the screenshot below, there are several unknown allergen statuses in both the Avocado puree and Sweet Chilli Sauce sub recipes. Before declaring the allergens on the final recipe level, it is best to update the allergen status in these nested resources. To navigate to these resources, click the name in the warning messages.
In contrast, if a message has no nested resource name. This indicates that the the warning is for the final recipe level.
Once the issue causing the message to display is resolved, the message will no longer appear.
About the error and warning messages
| Error message |
How to resolve |
|
No declaration name has been provided.
|
- This message displays when there is no information provided for the Declaration name.
- You must set a declaration name when prompted to or the ingredient does not display in the ingredients list on your nutrition label.
- To resolve this, update the Declaration name on the General tab.
|
|
No additive class name has been provided.
|
- This message displays when the resources label declaration is set to Additive, but no Addtive class name has been selected.
- To resolve this, update the Additive class name on the General tab.
|
|
Percentage-based components cannot be greater than 100.
|
- This message displays when the values for percentage-based components, such as % Australia, FVNL or Concentrated FV, is equal to >100%.
- To resolve this, update the values for the components to be <100%. The error message indicates where this is needed.
|
|
Information required to calculate Country of Origin has not been provided.
|
- This message displays when the % Australia value is unknown and the Show CoOL standard mark is set to Yes.
- To accurately calculate the values to display in the CoOL standard mark, you must declare the % Australia on either the raw material or recipe level.
- To resolve this, check the values for the % Australia and adjust accordingly. You may need to adjust the values in nested resources. The error message indicates where this is needed.
|
| Declared energy value is greater than the calculated value from the declared nutrients. |
- This message displays when the declared kilojoule value (declared on the Nutrients/Overrides tab) is greater than the calculated kilojoule value (calculated by Foodworks).
- To resolve, check the values for the energy-yielding nutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrateSE, dietary fibre, alcohol, sugar alcohols, organic acids, and polydextrose. Adjust or add missing values where needed.
- If all the energy-yielding nutrients are correct and the error persists, the EnergySE value entered is likely to be incorrect.
|
| Calculated energy value is greater than the declared energy value. |
- This message displays when the calculated kilojoule value is greater than the declared kilojoule value.
- To resolve this, check the values for the energy-yielding nutrients: protein, fat, carbohydratesSE, dietary fibre, alcohol, sugar alcohols, organic acids, and polydextrose. Adjust or add missing values where needed.
- If all the energy-yielding nutrients are correct and the error persists, the EnergySE value entered is likely to be incorrect.
|
|
Calculated carbohydrate value is greater than the declared carbohydrate value.
|
- This message displays when the calculated carbohydrate value is more than the declared carbohydrate value.
- To resolve, check the values for the following nutrients: sugars and starch. Adjust or add missing values where needed.
- If the above nutrients are correct and the error persists, the CarbohydrateSE value entered is likely to be incorrect.
|
|
Calculated weight value is greater than the declared weight value.
|
- This message displays when the calculated weight value is more than the declared weight value.
- To resolve, check the values for the following nutrients: protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, water, alcohol, sugar alcohols, organic acids, polydextrose, and ash. Adjust or add missing values where needed.
- If all the weight-yielding nutrients are correct and the error persists, the Weight value entered is likely to be incorrect.
|
|
Unknown value for the following mandatory nutrients: nutrient name, nutrient name, nutrient name...
|
- This message displays when one or more of the mandatory nutrition labelling nutrients does not have a value declared.
- To resolve this, add the values for the nutrients listed in the error message. You may need to add the values in nested resources. The error message indicates where this is needed.
|
|
Uncertain value for following mandatory nutrients: nutrient name, nutrient name, nutrient name...
|
- This message displays when one or more of the mandatory nutrition labelling nutrients is unknown.
- To resolve this, check the values for the nutrients listed in the error message and adjust accordingly. You may need to adjust the values in nested resources. The error message indicates where this is needed.
|
|
Declared water value is less than 100g per 100g.
|
- This message displays when a raw material is given the declaration name 'Water' and the nutrient for water is not equal to 100% of the weight.
- When 'Water' is used as an ingredient in a recipe, the nutrient, water, must equal 100g per 100g.
- To resolve this, update the values for water on the Nutrients tab to 100g.

How to resolve |
| Declared energy value is greater than the calculated value from the declared nutrients. Check the values are correct for the following: energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, alcohol, sugar alcohols, organic acids, and polydextrose. |
- This message displays when the declared kilojoule value (declared on the Nutrients/Overrides tab) is more than the calculated kilojoule value (calculated by Foodworks).
- To resolve this, check the values for the energy-yielding nutrients. You may need to enable these nutrients first: protein, fat, carbohydrateSE, dietary fibre, alcohol, sugar alcohols, organic acids, and polydextrose. Adjust or add missing values where needed.
- If all the energy-yielding nutrients are correct and the error persists, ensure the EnergySE value entered is correct.
|
| Unknown status for the following allergens: allergen name, allergen name, allergen name... |
- This message displays when one or more of the allergen nutrients is unknown.
- To resolve this, check the values for the allergens listed in the error message and adjust accordingly. You may need to adjust the values in nested resources. The error message indicates where this is needed.
|
| Label is set to display as volume but no volume conversion factor set in the Measures Tab |
- This message displays when the Show per 100mL, not per 100g checkbox is selected, but no volume conversion factor has been entered for the recipe.
- To resolve this, enter a volume conversion factor on the Measures tab.
|
| Health Star Rating Category not set. |
- This message displays when the Health Star Rating is set to show on the label, but a Health Star Rating Category has not been selected for the recipe.
- To resolve this, enter a Health Star Rating Category on the recipe General tab.
