Manage allergens for products in recipes

As a product data manager, you can accurately record the allergens for each product (presence and traces) so that this information is automatically reflected in recipe calculations and visible from the menus.

Start from: The Easilys menu.

Principle

In each product, you can indicate whether it contains allergens in the form of presence or trace. This information is taken into account in the recipe valuation calculation: in each recipe, you can view the allergens present as well as the risks of traces, given the composition of the recipe. This information is also visible from the menus.

Note: If an allergen appears as a trace in one product but as a presence in another, the recipe will indicate that it carries the presence (and not the trace) of that allergen.
