Labeling rules

Labeling rules are a flexible way to configure the labeling display of a product. These rules can be applied at different places in beCPG:

On the product template (« Labeling » list) : these rules are copied and pasted on the product at formulation (manual) or directly executed ;

On the product itself (« Labeling » list);

On a product specification Labeling rules list of the specification. The specification will be associated to the finished product (fp) by adding it to the finished product properties. It can be specific to a new client.

On ingredient types (beCPG> administration beCPG > lists of values > Ingredient Types : "Do not declare" and "put at the end")

A rule is defined by:

A name ;
A type.

Other fields such as Wording, Expression, Components and Replacements are available according to the type of rule,

the numbers are rounded down : > 18.5% => 18% > 18.6% => 19% > -1.5% => -1% > -1.6% => -2%

HTML elements list

Most of labeling rules can have HTML elements to have a specific form.

Here is the list of some HTML elements:

Bold

<b> ... </b>

Strong (stronger than bold)
```
 ... 
```
Italic
```
 ... 
```
Underline
```
 ... 
```
del : strikethrough text
```
<del> ... </del>
```
br: line break
```
... ...
```

Span uppercase: all the text in uppercase letters

<span style='text-transform:uppercase'> ... </span>

Span capitalize: first letter in uppecase letter

<span style='text-transform:capitalize'> ... </span>

Span lowercase: all the text in lowercase letters

<span style='text-transform:lowercase'> ... </span>

h style color: color the text
```
<h style='color:#DC143C'> ... </h>
```
Example with #DC143C (red) : For other color codes: https://htmlcolorcodes.com/

Please note that you can use these elements directly on legal name.

Types of rules (15)

(rules : language sensitive)

There are 18 types of rules:

Agregate and do not detail
Agregate and detail
Agregate and group
Declare
Declare legal name
Detail
Format (manage the labeling format)
Language
Do not declare
Omit ;
Preference (Redefine the separators, CEE code, work in volume, ...)
Render (create a label, ...)
Rename
Declaration threshold
Ingredient type
Show percentages
Show origins
Put at the end

1-Aggregate and do not detail

Aggregation rules enable to aggregate two ingredients as a third ingredient (Example: milk, pasteurized cow milk --> milk).

Here, only the aggregate is displayed in the labeling.

Becomes:

Each declaration can be done at « Composition » level or it can be overloaded by a rule by indicating the statement type and the component that must be overloaded. For example, if for only one RM it’s mandatory to detail, a rule can be established in a model to force the labeling of this RM whatever has been chosen by the user in the drop menu.

2-Aggregate and detail

It is also possible to specify the parts of the ingredients in the aggregate. For example, if we want to take 100% of milk and 80% of pasteurized cow milk, you must enter « 100,80 » in the field «Expression ». The aggregate is displayed when a detail of the components as their parts in the product.

Here, only the aggregate is displayed in the list of ingredients.

Becomes:

3-Aggregate and group

Same as in « Aggregate and detail » , apart from the fact that the aggregate is separated from the rest of the labeling. On top of that, the part of the aggreate in the finished product is indicated.

Becomes:

4-Declare

Enables the declaration of a component, even though, it should not be the case as per standard rules.

For example: water as processing aid. > Water >> Before : wheat flour, water (25%), yeast, salt... >> After : wheat flour, water (28.5%), yeast, salt...

5-Declare the legal name

This function enables the declaration of a component legal name for a label group in particular (group 1, group 2...) The declaration will the legal name or the name (cm:name) if the legal name is missing.

The type of declaration, is automatically applied to all labels.

e.g : Use the legal name for the pastry paste:

Component field : SF Pastry paste
Group field : Group 1
Result :
- Label 1 : Pastry paste (gluten, egg, milk) 55,28% , wheat flour 28,05%, water 8,98%, sugar 5,78%, yeast 1,12%, salt 0,56%, pasteurized whole egg 0,22%
- Label 2 : wheat flour 52,25%, water 16,24%, sugar 12,55%, butter 11,62%, egg yolk 3,48%, yeast 1,12%, salt 0,56%, lemon zest 0,48%, pasteurized whole egg 0,22%, natural flavors 0,15%, preservative: potassium sorbate (sa) 0,03%, lactic acid 0,01%

6-Detail

This rule is not a duplicate of the Declaration Type rule. A declaration type's rule is used for all the label. This rule can be used for a label, a group, one product, one component or more.

For example, it can display the raw material followed by its ingredients (Example : Milk cream 27 % (Milk 50 , Cream 50)).

7-Format

The « Format » type is often used on the product model and allows the management of the labeling format.

There are 4 defaukt formats :

Groupings : {0} ({1,number,0.#%}): {2} > Bread : wheat flour, water, yeast, salt ...
Detailed elements : {0} {1,number,0.#%} ({2}) > icing sugar (sugar, maize starch)
Ingredient types : {0}: {1} > Preservative : ascorbic acid
Ingredients (default) : {0} > wheat flour, water, yeast, salt ...

Other examples:

e.g. to write "wheat flour" in red:

Formula: {0} {1,number,0.#%} {2}
Components: wheat flour
Result: wheat flour 24.2 butter 14.52%, sugar 6.78%

e.g. displays ingredients origins ({3}) (also, see "Render" if you are looking for a table for the components and their origins)

Formula : {0} ({1,number,0.#%}): {3}
Components: wheat flour
Result: wheat flour (24.2%) : France, Espagne, beurre, sucre

These « format codes » have to be entered in the expression field. Then, the targeted component have to be selected or the field has to be empty in order to specify the default format. Consequently, it’s possible to display percentages, to put text in bold, in red and so on. Formats can include HTMP.

8-Language

« Language » enables to generate labels in different languages. In the « Expression » field, codes linked to labeling languages have to be entered.

Labelings generated into different languages are available this way:

Note : here, the three labels are written in French or in English because translations haven’t been provided. In order to display everything properly, the legal names of each ingredients/ components must be entered in the administration.

For raw materials:

For ingredients:

9-Do not declare

"Do not declare" means that the selected component won't be visible in the labeling. However, their proportion in the recipe is taken into account (unlike "Omit").

before : wheat flour 60%, butter 30%, water 9%, salt 1% after : butter 30%, water 9%, salt 1%

10-Omit

Omitted components won't be visible and their proportion in the recipe will be changed to zero.

before: wheat flour 60%, butter : 30% water 9%, sel 1%
after: butter 75%, water 22.5%, salt 2.5%

11-Preferences

You can associate "Preference" to a group and as a result to a label. The rule will be applicated to the whole label. If you want to be more accurate, you need to use a "format" rule.

Work in volumes

    useVolume = true

Display CEE ingredients codes instead of the legal name

    showIngCEECode = true

Redefine the separators

    defaultSeparator  = "; " 
    groupDefaultSeparator  = ", " 
    ingTypeDefaultSeparator  = ", " 
    subIngsSeparator = ", "
    allergensSeparator = "; "
    geoOriginsSeparator = "; "
    atEndSeparator=","
    footNotesLabelSeparator =" <br/>"

Redefine the format

Group format

# : indicate the number of digits after the decimal point (e.g. ##, 2 number after the decimal point),
... : these HTML tags are used to set the text in bold and ( ... to write the text in italic),
Rounding rules have numbers rounded down : > 18.5% => 18% > 18.6% => 19% > -1.5% => -1% > -1.6% => -2%

    groupDefaultFormat = "<b>{0} ({1,number,0.#%}):</b> {2}"

Groups lists format

    groupListDefaultFormat = "<b>{0} {1,number,0.#%}</b>"

WARNING : The 4 rules Ingredient format, Ingredient type, Detail format, Ingredient format with sub-ingredient will only work if used in addition with Show origins and Show biological origins.

The following 2 rules (Ingredient format and Ingredient type) are useful if you want to have ingredient country of origin and biological origin. The first 2 rules Ingredient format and Ingredient type have to be combined and are usually set on the finished product template but can only be used directly on entites.

{0} being the ingredient {2} the name of the ingredient and the country of transformation (replaced by the country of origin if the country of transformation is missing) {3} the country of transformation {4} the biological origin

Ingredient format

    ingDefaultFormat = "{0} [{3}]"

Format des ingrédient avec type

    ingTypeDefaultFormat = "{0}: ({2})[{3}]"

ex: antioxydant : (ascorbique acid , tocopherol )

    ingTypeSingleValueFormat="{0} : {2} [{3}]"

ex: antioxidant : ascorbique acid

"ingTypeSingleValueFormat" replace "ingTypeDefaultFormat" when only one child ingredient is present.

Detail format

    detailsDefaultFormat = "{0} ({2}) [{3}]"

For compund ingredient detail.

Ingredient format with sub-ingredient

    subIngsDefaultFormat = "{0} ({2}) [{3}]"

For sub-ingredient detail (ingredients of ingredients).

Ingredient type with threshold

    ingTypeDecThresholdFormat = "{0} [{3}]"

It is also possible to set limits:

Capitalize (example: Water)

    <ca></ca>

Have the text in capital letters (example: WATER)

    <up></up>

Lower (example: water)

    <lo></lo>

Percentage rounding rule

To round down (2.26% --> 2.2%)

    defaultRoundingMode=T(java.math.RoundingMode).DOWN

To round up (2.21% --> 2.3%)

    defaultRoundingMode=T(java.math.RoundingMode).UP

In the situation where you have 2 decimals #.#5 and wish to round down (2.25% --> 2.2%)

    defaultRoundingMode=T(java.math.RoundingMode).HALF_DOWN

In the situation where you have 2 decimals #.#5, and wish to round up (2.25% --> 2.3%)

    defaultRoundingMode=T(java.math.RoundingMode).HALF_UP

Show percentages (see below) can also manage rounding rules.

Allergen Set the allergen in bold , in italic .

    allergenReplacementPattern = "<b>$1</b>"

Format of the allergen when it doesn't appear in the text.

    allergenDetailsFormat = "{0} ({2})";

Disable the allergen display for some languages.

    disableAllergensForLocales = "ru,ja_JP,zh_CN"

Disable the allergen display for all languages.

    disableAllergensForLocales = "*"

Tables

    htmlTableRowFormat = '<tr><td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{0}</td>
            <td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{2}</td>"
            <td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{3}</td>"
            <td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;">{1,number,0.#%}</td>
            <td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;">{4,number,0.#%}</td></tr>'

    htmlTableHeaderFormat = '<thead><tr><th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{0}</th>
            <th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{2}</th>
            <th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{3}</th>
            <th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;">{1}</th>
            <th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;">{4}</th></tr></thead>'

     htmlTableFooterFormat = '<tfoot><tr><th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" ><b>{0}</b></th>
            <td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;"></td><td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;"></td>
            <td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;"><b>{1,number,0.#%}</b></td>
            <td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;"></td></tr></tfoot>'

Differenciating the country of origin and the country of transformation

It is possible to differentiate the country of origin from the country of transformation. By default, the country of origin is declared if the country of transformation is not declared. Otherwise the country of transformation is declared.

To do that, you must declare the origins in table format by adding first a render rule renderAsHtmlTable("border-collapse:collapse",false,false).replaceAll("><","><")

Then, create 2 preference rules:

htmlTableRowFormat = '<tr><td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{0}</td>
<td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{2}</td>
<td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{5}</td>
<td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{3}</td>
<td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;">{1,number,0.#%}</td>
<td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;">{4,number,0.#%}</td></tr>'

htmlTableHeaderFormat = '<thead><tr><th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{0}</th>
<td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >Transformation</td>
<td style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >Origin</td>
<th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;" >{3}</th>
<th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;">{1}</th>
<th style="border: solid 1px;padding: 5px;text-align:center;">{4}</th></tr></thead>'

You then get a new column for the country of transformation (the column 5 in the first preference rule).

Yield

The list of ingredients takes the yield in account which means that it gives the exact percentages before cooking.

    ingsLabelingWithYield = true

Precision

Threshold beyond which the ingredient isn’t displayed

    qtyPrecisionThreshold = 0.001d;

When the formt specifies the percentage displays, the system automatically adapts the numbers of decimals based on the quantity. The maximum number of decimals can be configured:

    maxPrecision = 4;

Example with maxPrecision = 2

3.5% gives 3.5%
0.021151% gives 0.02%
0.005% gives 0.00%
0% gives 0%

Force the sum to 100% It is possible to configure the system so the sum of rounded values is above 100%. In that case scenario the precision is increased and the adjustement is done on the first ingredient.

    force100Perc = true

Burst the type of ingredients

Enables to regroup the ingredients per category, only when ingredients are next to one another in the list of ingedients.

    shouldBreakIngType = true

Default : milk, Flavors: strawberry, vanilla, water

With the preference rule : milk, Flavor: strawberry, water, Flavor: vanilla

12-Render

This rule type allows, for example, the creation of a new label. When you create a label, it is possible to attribuate a group (group 1, group2, ....) to the rules. You can associate another rules to the group and as the result to this label.

Many labeling formats exist and are defined by the following formulas that should be mentioned in the « Expression » field :

render () : displays ingredients and groupings

render(false): only displays ingredients

renderGroupList(): ony displays the groupings

Or any combinations: renderGroupList()+"
"+render(false)

renderAllergens(): displays the present allergens.

renderDetectedAllergens(): displays the detected allergens (example: if butter is detected, we will display butter and not milk).

renderAsHtmlTable(): displays a table. Optionnal parameters (styleCss, showTotal)

renderFootNotes(): display footnotes
@beCPG.join(",",locales) : display the label language

13-Rename

This rule is executed in chosing a component to be replaced (in the « Components » drop-down box) and its substitute which is selected in the «Replacement» drop-down box (if it already exists), or it can be created by putting its name in the « Wording » field (label).

If the renaming concerns the labels generated in a certain language, this latter should be specified by selecting it in the language list as below :

Which generates the following :

Note: Contains less than 2%

As per US regulation, the descending order of predominance does not apply to ingredients present in amounts of 2 percent or less by weight when a listing of these ingredients starts with ", contains less than 2% of " beCPG takes that in account by using the "Rename" rule. Then, enter "Less than 2%" in name. And ", contains less than 2% of " in label. Formula must contain your threshold which in that case is "0.02" (2 percents).

The result will be displayed in your list of ingredients.

If that labeling rule is supposed to be applied to a specific country, you must use the rule named "Language" as shown here.

This will result in the following display:

14-Declaration threshold

To set a threshold under which an ingredient is not declared.

Rule Type: Declaration threshold Name: Test Expression: [5]{style="color:blue;"} Components: lemon zeste, butter, egg yolk Group: Choose a group (If you don't choose the group, all the labels will be modified),

before : wheat flour 52.25, water 16,24, sugar 12,55,{color:blue}butter 11,62 , egg yolk 3,48, Orange blossom water 1,45, yeast 1,12, salt 0,56, [lemon zeste 0,48]{style="color:blue;"}*, liquid whole egg 0,22

after : wheat flour 52.25, water 16,24, sugar 12,55,{color:blue}butter 11,62 , Orange blossom water 1,45, yeast 1,12, salt 0,56, liquid whole egg 0,22

Only the ingredients with a proportion under [5]{style="color:blue;"}% and identified by the rule won't be declared.

15-Ingredient types

Labeling Rules

This rule is executed while chosing a component to be replaced (in the « Components » drop-down box) and its substitute (in the « Replacement » drop-down box). For example, the E250 additive could be used as « antifoaming » rather than a preservative. Thus, in the « Components » field, « E250-Sodium-Nitrite » will be chosen and in the « Replacements » field, « acid » will be chosen.

Becomes:

If the type change concerns the labels generated in a certain language unically, this latter should be specified by selecting it in the language list (cf. « Renaming » part).

Ingredient type specificities:

You can add labeling rules when you create or change ingredient types. It is possible to:

not declare some types like for example processing aids,
put an ingredient at the end of the labeling,

To create these rules you have to do the following actions: > beCPG > administration beCPG, > List of values > Types of ingredients > Click on the pencil (on the right, last column, active button)

e.g. acid/ place at the end

Before:

After:

16-Show percentages

That rule is used to display the quantity of elements (ingredients, sub-ingredients, semi-finished...) in percentages and in relation with the type of declaration associated to the entity. The association "Show percentages/ Type of declaration" enalbles to display the % as you want. To display percentages for ingredients, informations regarding their proportions must be added at the level of each raw materials ingredients.

Note: "#.#" gives the number of decimals e.g. After chosing show percentages as rule, enter #.## in Formula to indicate 2 decimals (if you enter #.# you will indicate 1 decimal and #.### will indicate 3 decimals and so on).

Formula: #.#

For #.#, by default, the value is rounded down from #.#0 to #.#4 and rounded up from #.#5 to #.#9. But, you can set differents rounding rules:

--> #.#%|DOWN: always rounds down (2.26% --> 2.2%)

--> #.#%|UP : always rounds up (2.21% --> 2.3%)

--> #.#%|HALF_DOWN : for the case #.#5, rounds down (2.25% --> 2.2%)

--> #.#%|HALF_UP : for the case #.#5, rounds up (2.25% --> 2.3%)

Those rules are equivalent to the ones in the Preferances section. Both methods have pros and cons:

In the case we want a global rounding rule for all products, it's better to use Show pourcentages. Indeed, it centralises everything in a single rule (display pourcentage + format).
In the case we want a special format for some products, it's better to use Preferances. In fact, it separates the rule to display pourcentage and the rounding rule, which you could activate or not depending on the product.

You can also, in expression, add a threshold that will apply to the rule

"#.#||1" will apply for example to ingredients in proportion less or equal to 1%
"#.###|HALF_UP|0.1" will apply for example to ingredients in proportion less or equal to 0.1%

By combining the rules you can create reporting intervals.

17-Show origins

This rule displays origins of elements (ingredients, subingredients, semifinished products,...) based on the type of declaration associated to the entity.

To use this rule, you must fill the origin of your raw material elements:

for ingredients: in the ingredient tab of your raw material, fill ""Geographical origin",
for your raw material: in the properties of the raw material, fill "Geographical origin".

Based on the origins that you wabt to display, you will modify the field "component" of your rule and/or the type of declaration of your entity:

if you want the origin of one or more specific elements: Associate the component(s) to the rule and choose the correct type of declaration (e.g. for an ingredient--> select "declara ingredients")
if you want all origins, it is not necessary to save the components of your recipe in that rule. Component percentages will be displayed by default if the component field of the rule is empty.

Example 1 :

Origine de la MP Lardon fumé,
% pour les MP et le SF avec l'affichage en % de la recette de la composition de ce dernier.

Example 2 :

% de l'ingrédient riz
Origine de la MP Lardon fumé

Formulas

It is possible to filter components with a SPEL formula. Available formulas are:

compoListDataItem : l’élément dans la composition ;

ingListDataItem : the extracted ingredient.

For some products, it is necessary to indicate addidtional information on the origin. In the case of sea products it may be necessary to display the catch zone. In the case, of meat products you may have to declare birth, rearing and slaughter origins.

These statements can be added to the rule "Show origins". You must first create the country of origin in administration becpg--> characteristics --> geographical origins Then, in front of each country, it is possible to add a "place of activity". The potential values are: Assembly, Birth, Bottling, Catch zone, Farming, Importation, Last processing, Milking, Rearing, Slaughter.

More than one value can be added to a country

Then, you must add the country of origin to the raw material.

Back on the finished product, add the labelling rule "Show origins". That rule can be completed to indicate the place of activities by using : ASSEMBLY, BIRTH, BOTTLING, CATCH_ZONE, FARMING, IMPORTATION, LAST_PROCESSING, MILKING, REARING, SLAUGHTER, EMPTY

By default, the rule only display the country of origin if there is more than one place of activity. The indication will then be "ingredient or raw material" [country of origin]. Adding a place of activity followed by EMPTY in the rule will indicate the place of activity before the country of origin.

Finally, if more than a place of activity in a rule, the place of activities will preceed the country of origin.

e.g. BIRTH,REARING,SLAUGHTER

18-Put at the end

This rule displays the RM / SF or FP legal Name at the end of the labelling, and displays its Legal Name.

Formula

It’s possible to filter the components thanks to a SPEL formula.

The available variables are :

compoListDataItem : the element in the composition ;

ingListDataItem : the extracted ingredient.

Statement (8)

There are 8 types of statements /declarations

Declare ing.
Declare legal name
Detail
Kit
Group
Omit
Do not declare
Put at the end

Statements are defined in the « Composition » inset, on the bottom right of the labeling page. To modify the declaration type, click on the actual declaration. A drop menu appear, allowing the chosing of the declaration type.

1-Ingredients declaration

Only displays ingredients.

2-Declare legal name

Displays the raw material without its ingredients. The display name will be the "legal name" and by default the name (cm:came)

3-Detail

The raw-material will be followed by the display of its ingredients. (e.g. bread 27% (wheat flour 60, water 35, yeast 4, salt 1))

4-Groupings

Creates a grouping (e.g. Rum ice cream with raisins (65,4) : Sugar 0,455 ; Milk cream 41,2 (Milk 50 , Cream 50)).

5-Assortments

Same as the grouping but the percentages are computed at assortment level. Example: Apple pie

>> Dough 35: wheat flour 60, butter 30, egg yolk 8, salt 2%. >> Apple mix 65% : apple 55, applesauce 35, sugar 8, butter 2.

If you only want to declare the proportion of the applesauce, you need to use labeling rules "format": Label : {0} {1,number,0.##%} ({2}) Component : Applesauce rule : format

6-Omit

The omitted components aren't visibles in the labeling. Their proportion is set at zero. For example, if we apply the omit statement to wheat flour in the example as seen below.

Before: Wheat flour 60, butter 30, water 9, salt 1%

After: Butter 75, water 22.5, salt 2.5%

7-Do not declare

Undeclared components are not visible on the labeling. Unlike the statement "Omit", the percentage is not set to zero.

Before: Wheat flour 60, butter 30, water 9, salt 1%

After: butter 30, water 9, salt 1

8-Put at the end

Omit, put at the end of the labelling the concerned component and display its legal name.

Rules defined on groups

The « Group » field is useful:

First case: when different rules have to be applied (of type different from « Render ») to many labels. For example, let's consider a group 2 label and a group 1 label. The separator has to be changed from « , » to « ; » only on label 1. A new rule is created, with the « Preference » type. The text « defaultSeparator = " ; " » is written in the « Formula » field and the group 1 is specified.

Second case: when the same rule has to be applied for all labels. For example, let's consider a group 2 label and group 1 label. The separator has to be changed from « , » to « ; » in all the labels. A new rule is created, with the « Preference » type. The text « defaultSeparator = " ; " » is written in the « Formula » field and the « Group » field is left blank.

WARNING: if the rule « Display percentages » is chosen by default, the case 1 won’t work.

Allergen labeling

Allergen list feeding

A pre-established allergen listnalready exists by default in the system. However, if it’s necesary to add new allergens, go to beCPG> Administration beCPG> Characteristics> Allergens and click on « Add ». A form is displayed and permit to enter :

The allergen name ;

The allergen type : major or minor (for more information abour the allergens types, go to the website : https://allergies.afpral.fr/allergie/en-savoir-plus-sur-les-allergies/alimentaires/89-liste-des-14-allergenes-alimentaires-majeurs). To consult the major allergens, their children and the minor allergens, go to beCPG> Administration> Characteristics> Allergens :

The allergen regulatory threshold ;

The « children-allergens »;

Steps to label the allergens properly

Enter the allergens in the recipe

In order to display the allergens in the product labeling, they mus be indicated at raw material (RM) level. For your information, it’s sufficient to put allergens only once on the raw material to make them appear every time the RM is used in a product recipe.

To do this, go to each product’s raw materials and click on « Allergens ». An allergens list is displayed by default but it’s possible to add new ones by clicking on « Add » and by chosing an element from the list.

Once the allergen has been chosen, it’s necessary to mention the nature of its presence. For this purpose, a decision tree can be used in order to know if the allergen should be declared or not and if its presence is volontary or fortuitous.

Depending of the nature of its presence , it will be necessary to tell the source of this allergen, which means, the ingredient in which the allergen is found. This step is important to generate a correct labeling.

Choose the statement type

Either the raw material is declared according to the type « Declare legal name », in which case the allergen will always be put into brackets and in bold just after the RM name, whether its source has been mentioned or not.

Either the raw material is declared according to the type « Declare ingredients », in which case the allergen will be put into brackets and in bold just after the ingredient name, ONLY if its source has been mentioned.

Source mentioned :
