Nutrition Labelling
Error and warning messages flag missing or inconsistent information in your raw materials, sub recipes and recipes that could lead to an incorrect label. Review and resolve them before you export your labels.
View error and warning messages
- Open the resource.
- Select the notification bell at the top right. The number in red shows how many messages there are, and the list of messages opens.
- Optional: To keep a message in view while you fix it, select the
pin icon. Pinned messages appear at the bottom of the resource window and update as you make changes.
A message disappears once the issue is resolved. For what each message means, see Error and warning messages explained below.
Messages from sub recipes and raw materials
If a message names a sub recipe or raw material, the issue is in that ingredient. Fix it there first, rather than overriding it in the final recipe. Click the name in the message to go straight to it. If a message doesn't name an ingredient, the issue is in the recipe itself.
In this example, both the Avocado puree and Sweet Chilli Sauce sub recipes have allergens with an unknown status. Update the allergens in those sub recipes before declaring allergens for the final recipe.
Error and warning messages explained
| Error message | What it means and how to fix it |
|---|---|
| No declaration name has been provided. | The resource has no Declaration name, so it won't appear in the ingredient list on your label. Enter a declaration name on the General tab. See Create a raw material – Overview. |
| No additive class name has been provided. | The label declaration is set to Additive, but no Additive class name is selected. Select one on the General tab. |
| Percentage-based components cannot be greater than 100. | A percentage-based component, such as % Australia, FVNL or Concentrated FV, is more than 100%. Change it to 100% or less. The message shows which resource needs changing. |
| Information required to calculate Country of Origin has not been provided. | The CoOL standard mark is set to show, but % Australia is unknown. Enter % Australia for the raw materials, or for the recipe. The message shows which resources need it. |
| Calculated energy value is greater than the declared energy value. | The energy Foodworks calculates from the other nutrients is higher than the energy you entered. Check the same energy-yielding nutrients as above. If they're all correct, the energy value you entered is probably wrong. |
| Calculated carbohydrate value is greater than the declared carbohydrate value. | Sugars plus starch add up to more than the carbohydrate you entered. Check the sugars and starch values. If they're correct, the carbohydrate value you entered is probably wrong. |
| Calculated weight value is greater than the declared weight value. | The components add up to more than the weight you entered. Check protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, water, alcohol, sugar alcohols, organic acids, polydextrose and ash. If they're correct, the weight you entered is probably wrong. |
| Unknown value for the following mandatory nutrients: nutrient names | One or more nutrients required on the Nutrition Information Panel has no value. Enter values for the nutrients listed. The message shows which resources need them. |
| Uncertain value for the following mandatory nutrients: nutrient names | One or more nutrients on the Nutrition Information Panel has an unknown value. Check the values for the nutrients listed. The message shows which resources need changing. |
| Declared water value is less than 100g per 100g. | A raw material has the declaration name Water, but its water content isn't 100g per 100g. Set water to 100g on its Nutrients tab. |
| Warning message | What it means and how to fix it |
|---|---|
| Declared energy value is greater than the calculated value from the declared nutrients. | The energy you entered on the Nutrients or Overrides tab is higher than the energy Foodworks calculates from the other nutrients. Check the energy-yielding nutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrate, dietary fibre, alcohol, sugar alcohols, organic acids and polydextrose) and add any that are missing. If they're all correct, the energy value you entered is probably wrong. |
| Unknown status for the following allergens: allergen names | One or more allergens has no status. Set the status for the allergens listed. The message shows which resources need them. |
| Health Star Rating Category not set. | The Health Star Rating is set to show on the label, but no Health Star Rating Category is selected. Select one on the recipe's General tab. |
