Genesis Foods is organized around four core components: Ingredients, Recipes, Labels, and Reports. Understanding how these areas work together will help you navigate the system and manage your product data more effectively.
Ingredients
Ingredients are the foundation of everything in Genesis Foods. Ingredients are used as building blocks when creating recipes. Keeping ingredient data accurate is essential, as it directly impacts nutrition calculations, labeling, and reporting.
Each ingredient contains:
- Nutrient data
- Allergen information
- Attributes and other product details
Recipes
Recipes are formulations built from one or more ingredients. Recipes are where your product takes shape. Any changes to ingredients or formulation will affect the final nutrition, labels, and reports.
Within a recipe, you can:
- Combine ingredients into a finished product
- Adjust quantities and yields
- Calculate nutrition automatically
Labels
Labels are generated from your recipes and reflect the final product’s nutrition and regulatory information.
With labels, you can:
- Create Nutrition Facts panels
- Configure serving sizes and display options
- Generate compliant labels for different authorities (e.g., U.S., Canada, EU, Mexico)
Reports
Reports allow you to analyze and validate your data. Reports help you verify that your data is accurate and ready for use in labeling and compliance workflows.
You can use reports to:
- Review nutrient data
- Compare products or recipes
- Support regulatory and quality checks
How These Components Work Together
These four areas are connected:
- Ingredients → used to build → Recipes
- Recipes → generate → Labels
- Ingredients, Recipes, and Labels → feed into → Reports
Changes in one area will often impact the others. For example, updating an ingredient can affect recipe nutrition, which in turn updates labels and reports.
