Allergens May Contain

The allergens module now includes the option “may contain”. All pages and reports have been updated to accommodate for may contain.

The following areas within Stock Admin have changed:

Allergen Template & Import

M should be used to indicate if a supplier product has a May Contain allergen
When the file is uploaded, validation will take place and once it has passed it will display any new values in red. This will help with spotting the items that have been added
You will no longer be able to import an allergen template if you have selected Nuts or Cereals with Gluten without specifying what type of Nut or Cereals with gluten is contained within the supplier product
If you have previously selected Nuts and not specified what type the import will fail. You will need to update all supplier products that contain nuts and specify what types are included
New column has been added to the template “No allergens” this will indicate that the item has no allergens. Y to declare that the item has no allergens, blank is that you do not have the information just yet. If you select Y as yes, this item does not have allergens, but it includes allergens or may contain within the file, the import process will fail

New column added “Approve”, that allows you to select the items you chose to approve.
New column added “Status” that will display a tag if an item is needing approval, a question mark icon if the item doesn’t have any allergen information ever entered.
May contain will now be displayed by a “M” for each allergen that may be contained in the supplier product.

To view the allergens waiting for approval – Select “Include Unapproved Values”.

Approve – If entering allergen information on this page you will only be able to approve changes made once the save button has been selected
New button “Go to allergens list”, will take you to the allergens list page
New button “Go to stock item”, will take you into the supplier products tab which will list all supplier products within the stock item
Save button will validate entries made on this page which will notify you of any abnormalities that you will need to address. If you have added any entries and not selected save these changes will be discarded.
New column added for child allergens which will be displayed if you select the parent allergens “Cereals with Gluten” and “Nuts”
New column “May contain” has been added where you can select the may contain allergen for the item. You will not be able to add may contain allergen if the item already contains that allergen already
New tick box added called “No Allergens” which allows you to declare that the supplier product has no allergens included in it. If this is selected you will not be able to add a contain or may contain, you will need to unselect it before adding any allergens

If you select a parent allergen, you will not be able to save the entry without including your child allergen
You will not be able to save without entering any allergen information, if you wish to indicate that the item has no allergens, please select the “No allergens” tick box.

If a parent allergen is selected it is advised that the child allergen is selected as well
Allergen information added to a temp stock item will still need to be approved once it has converted into a stock item
If you select the allergen as having Nuts and select it to also may contain nuts the later will not be saved as this fails validation. You will need to select one of another. You will be notified of this oversight
