# Labelling Details
**Labelling Details** in Supply’d gives you a central place to manage ingredients, allergens, nutrition, storage, and shelf life for your food products. This supports compliance, improves traceability, and keeps product data accurate and up to date.
The **Labelling Details** section appears when **Standard, Bundled, Recipe, Production, or Breakdown** product types are selected when adding a product and includes key food information such as ingredients, nutrition, and storage.
For **Standard**, **Bundled**, and **Breakdown** products, **Fetch Nutrition** can be used to calculate nutrition values. For **Production** products, ingredients, allergens, and nutrition can be automatically generated, provided all recipe items include the required details.
{% hint style="success" %}
👉 See the [Adding Products](/supplyd-erp/products/adding-products.md) for instructions on adding products.
👉 See the [Product Types](/supplyd-erp/products/product-types.md) documents for explanations of the different product types.
{% endhint %}

## Adding Labelling Details
{% hint style="warning" %}
For **Production** and **Recipe** type products - If wanting to use the auto generate features in this section, complete the **Production Settings**, **Production Stages** and **Production Items/Recipe Items** sections first.
{% endhint %}
Complete the fields in the **Labelling Details** section as follows:
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
### Country of Manufacture
Select the country the product was made in.
When Australia is selected, an additional field - **Percentage Australian** - will appear.
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Percentage Australian
The percentage of this products ingredients that are Australian.
**Production & Recipe Type Products**
When **Production** or **Recipe** is selected in the **Product Type** section, you will see a button on the **Percentage Australian** field.
Clicking will automatically calculate the estimated percentage of Australian content in your product.
{% hint style="success" %}
Supply'd calculates the percentage Australian by using data from your ingredients - specifically the origin info you've entered for each component. This helps you quickly work out your Australian content without doing manual calculations, which is especially useful for labelling and compliance.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
You will need to have completed the **Production Stage** and **Production Items/Recipe Items** sections before you use the **Generate** feature.
Each ingredient used in the production or recipe must have its relevant information entered to ensure accurate calculations.
{% endhint %}
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Ingredients
Add any ingredients contained in this product.
**Production & Recipe Type Products**
**Production** and **Recipe** products will have a button.
Clicking will automatically create an ingredient list based on the components used in your production item.
{% hint style="success" %}
Supply'd generates the ingredients list by pulling the ingredient names from your product setup and arranges them in order of quantity, which is standard for food labelling. This saves time and helps ensure your ingredient list is accurate and compliant with labelling requirements.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
You will need to have completed the **Production Stage** and **Production Items/Recipe Items** sections before you use the **Generate** feature.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Supply'd offers two ways to format your labels based on how you want ingredients to appear:
**1. The Grouping Method (Plain Text)**
If you list ingredients as plain text, the system automatically merges duplicates and reorders them by total weight.
* **How it works:** If sugar is in both your ganache and chocolate shell, it will be grouped and listed once as "Sugar".
* **Best for:** Creating a clean, standard legal declaration.
**2. The Compound Method \[Square Brackets]**
To show specific recipe items rather than just a raw list of parts, place sub-components inside square brackets `[ ]`.
* **How it works:** Formatting an item as "Chocolate \[sugar, cocoa mass...]" ensures the main ingredient is named first, followed by its specific breakdown.
* **Best for:** Highlighting specific brands or complex components like cream or chocolate.
{% endhint %}
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
### Allergens - Contains
Enter the allergens that **are present** in this product, separated by commas (eg. dairy, nuts). Do not include leading phrases like "Contains".
**Production** and **Recipe** type products will have a button.
Clicking automatically compiles a list of allergens found in the ingredients of your product.
{% hint style="success" %}
Supply'd scans the ingredients you've added to the production item and identifies any known allergens (like gluten, dairy, nuts, etc.) based on the allergen information stored in your ingredient data. This helps you quickly and accurately populate allergen warnings for food labelling and compliance.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="warning" %}
You will need to have completed the **Production Stage** and **Production Items** sections before you use the **Generate** feature.
Each ingredient in the production or recipe must have its details entered to ensure accurate information is generated.
{% endhint %}
***
{% endstep %}
{% step %}

***
### **Servings Per Package & Serving Size**
**Serving Size**
This is the total number of servings in one full pack of your product.\
For example, if a bottle contains 500ml and each serving is 250ml, then **Servings Per Package = 2**.
**Serving Size**
This is the amount of product in a single serving. It should reflect the typical portion someone would consume at one time.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The system will not allow you calculate or recalculate these values unless a **Product Size** has been set for the product.
{% endhint %}
***
### Adding a Nutrient Field
If you want to add nutrition information beyond the standard table, click .
Select the nutrition value and click for the field to be added to the table.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The nutrient must be set up in your **Product Settings** to appear as an option on the menu.
👉 See the [Product Settings](/supplyd-erp/settings/product-settings.md#nutritional-info) section of the [Product Settings](/supplyd-erp/settings/product-settings.md) for details.
All ingredients or products used in the recipe must have this additional information for the nutrient to be calculated accurately when using the **Generate** feature. Alternatively, you can enter the value manually.
{% endhint %}
***
### Calculating Nutrition
Nutrition details can be manually input, calculated using **Fetch Nutrition** for **Standard**, **Bundled**, or **Breakdown** items, or automatically generated for **Recipe** and **Production** items.
* [#standard-bundled-or-breakdown-types](#standard-bundled-or-breakdown-types "mention")
* [#recipe-type](#recipe-type "mention")
* [#production-type](#production-type "mention")
***
#### Standard, Bundled or Breakdown Types
**Standard**, **Bundled** or **Breakdown** product types can use **Fetch Nutrition** to calculate the nutrition values.
{% hint style="success" %}
Fetch Nutrition is a tool that automatically fills in the nutritional information for a product based on its listed ingredients. \
\
Instead of manually calculating or entering nutrition values (like energy, fat, protein, etc.), **Fetch Nutrition** pulls standard data from a trusted database to generate an estimate. It’s a quick way to get a complete Nutrition Information Panel without doing all the work yourself - and you can still review and adjust the results if needed.
{% endhint %}
Click on the 3 dots in the top right and select **Fetch Nutrition**.
The **Fetch Nutrition** form will open.
Enter the ingredient, select the appropriate match from the menu and click .
***
### Recipe Type
Supply'd can automatically calculate the nutrition values for a **Recipe** type product.
{% hint style="warning" %}
You must complete the **Recipe Items** section before using the **Generate** feature.
For accurate calculations, each ingredient or product used in the recipe must also have its nutrition values added.
{% endhint %}
Click on the 3 dots in the top right and select **Generate From Recipe**.
Supply'd will automatically calculate the nutrition using the ingredients and their amounts in your recipe.
***
#### Production Type
For Production products, Supply’d can automatically calculate **serving details** and **nutrition values**.
**Servings Per Package / Serving Size Calculations**
For **Production** products, Supply’d can automatically calculate the **Servings Per Package**/**Serving Size**.
{% hint style="warning" %}
You need to complete the **Production Stages** and **Production Items** sections before using the **Calculate** feature.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="success" %}
The buttons help you automatically work out the **Servings Per Package** and **Serving Size**, based on your product’s total weight or volume.
**✅ Calculate Serving Size**
If you already know how many **Servings Per Package** there are, Supply’d will calculate the **Serving Size** for you.
\
Example:
* You enter “Servings per Pack” = 4
* The total pack weight is 800g
* It will calculate the **Serving Size = 200g**
**✅ Calculate Servings per Pack**
If you know the **Serving Size**, Supply’d will calculate how many servings fit in a pack.
\
Example:
* You enter **Serving Size** = 250ml
* The total pack volume is 1lt
* It will calculate **Servings Per Package = 4**
{% endhint %}
**Generating Nutrition**
{% hint style="warning" %}
You need to complete the **Production Stages** and **Production Items** sections before using the **Calculate** **Generate** feature.
For accurate nutrition calculations, each ingredient or product used must also have its nutrition values added.
{% endhint %}
Click on the 3 dots in the top right and select **Generate From Recipe**.
Supply'd will automatically calculate the nutritional values (like energy, protein, fat, sugar, etc.) for your finished product, using the nutrition details from all its components.
{% hint style="success" %}
Supply'd automatically calculates the nutritional values for Production and Recipe type products by pulling the nutrition data from each ingredient in your recipe and calculating the total values based on their quantities. This saves time and helps ensure your Nutrition Information Panel is accurate and compliant with labelling standards.
{% endhint %}
***
### Recipe Weight, Final Weight & Weight Change
In Supply’d, these fields are used to account for moisture loss or gain during the cooking process. Since nutrition is calculated by weight, the system needs to know if your product shrinks (like roasting meat) or expands (like boiling pasta) to give an accurate per-100g breakdown.
#### Recipe Weight (Input Weight)
Enter the total raw weight of all your ingredients combined before any processing or cooking.
* How it’s calculated: Supply’d automatically sums the weights of every ingredient you’ve added to the recipe.
* Example: If you combine 500g of ground beef, 10g of salt, and 90g of egg, your Recipe Weight is 600g.
#### Final Weight (Yield Weight)
Enter the actual weight of the finished product after it has been cooked, baked, or processed.
* Why it matters: Most foods lose weight during cooking due to water evaporation. If you don't update this, your nutrition labels will be inaccurate because the nutrients become more "concentrated" as the food shrinks.
* Example: After grilling those 600g of burger ingredients, the cooked patties weigh only 510g. You would enter "510" here.
#### Weight Change (%)
This field shows the percentage of weight lost or gained during production.
* Automatic Calculation: Supply'd calculates this for you based on the difference between the Recipe Weight and Final Weight.
* Negative Value (-): Indicates "Yield Loss" (common in baking or roasting where moisture evaporates).
* Positive Value (+): Indicates "Yield Gain" (common in rice or pasta where water is absorbed).
* Example: In the burger example above, the change from 600g to 510g would result in a -15% Weight Change.
{% hint style="success" %}
**Why this is critical for Nutrition Labels**
The law requires nutrition panels (like "Calories per 100g") to reflect the product as sold (usually the cooked state).
* Without Final Weight: The system thinks 100g of your burger has the calories of 100g of raw meat.
* With Final Weight: The system understands that 100g of your *finished* burger actually contains about 115g worth of raw ingredients' nutrients, making the label legally compliant and accurate.
{% endhint %}

Once all details have been entered, click to add the information to the **Labelling** section.
The completed information will look something like this on the product page.
***
### Removing Nutrition
Removing nutrition is useful if you need to reset the information, for example, if the recipe has changed or if you want to manually re-enter or re-generate the data from updated ingredients.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
On the **Nutrition Information** table, click . The **Edit Nutrition** form will open.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Click on the 3 dots on the top right of the **Edit Nutrition** form and select **Remove Nutrition**.
You will be asked to confirm.
Click .
This will clear all the nutritional data currently entered or generated for the product.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
