What's New in FoodWorks Nutrition Labelling 2009

Welcome to FoodWorks® Nutrition Labelling 2009, a comprehensive solution for producing nutrition labels and assisting with new product development.

FoodWorks Nutrition Labelling 2009 is a major new version. FoodWorks has a new look to go with new features and enhancements designed to make your work easier. New features in FoodWorks Nutrition Labelling 2009 include:

More features for labelling

Simpler, more comprehensive handling of declaration options

FoodWorks 2009 includes enhanced support for declaring ingredients for ingredient statements. The options are now all in a single drop-down menu.

For a raw material, you can choose to declare it as a compound ingredient, an additive, a processing aid, an inedible component, a simple ingredient, or a reconstituted ingredient. Declaring a concentrate as a reconstituted ingredient is also simplified. For a sub-recipe, you can choose either to merge its ingredients into the final ingredient statement or todeclare it as a compound ingredient.

Ingredients groups

You can now group ingredients into user-defined categories for the ingredient statements of labels. For example, you might classify raw materials like strawberry and apple into the group fruit. Then in the ingredient statement of a label they appear as fruit [apple, strawberry].

Streamlined Label Window

Edit your labels more dynamically with the new Label window. The label is displayed on the right. As you edit its properties on the left, the label is immediately updated.

Find and manage your data more easily

Find your recipes and raw materials more easily

To quickly find your own recipes, sub-recipes and raw materials, in the Navigation Pane, use the new Search box . You can search your entire database or specific folders.

Query your database

The new Query view lets you search your database and the associated data sources for specific recipes, sub-recipes, raw materials and reference foods. You can click an item to view individual nutrient analyses. You can also quickly see what items contain a particular nutrient, component or allergen.

See which recipes use a raw material or sub-recipe

The Navigation Pane automatically shows where else in your database the selected raw material or recipe is used.

Drill-down into your recipes

A tree view of your recipes enables you to drill-down into the ingredients of your recipes, navigating through all the raw materials and sub-recipes that make it up.

Import from other FoodWorks databases

You can now import data—raw materials, sub-recipes and recipes—from other FoodWorks databases.

And more

There are many other general useability enhancements to make your work easier, such as automatic updates, new document properties, and improved graphs and reports.
