Ingredient & allergen library

Every label starts with the right ingredient.

Pick ingredients from a shared database with nutrition and allergens, or add your own. Labels, SOPs and costing all read the same record.

Why does an ingredient database matter for food labels?

A nutrition label is only as accurate as its ingredients. A shared ingredient database holds each ingredient's nutrition per 100 g and its allergens, so labels calculate the same way every time and allergens are never missed.

Why one ingredient library

  • Allergens never missed

    Allergen flags travel from the ingredient to every label and SOP.

  • Consistent nutrition

    Every product uses the same per-100 g values.

  • Ready for the Gulf

    Translated names give you Arabic ingredient lists.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add my own ingredients?

Does the library include Arabic ingredient names?
