Checked for allergens

Each PLU will have a ‘Checked for allergens’ property. This is not mandatory and is used primarily as a reminder to the user to check the allergens within a product. The more accurate the information held against the product the least likely a user purchases an item that they should not.

Whenever a product is edited but the checked for allergens checkbox has not been ticked, the user will be prompted to check the product for allergens.

The checked for allergens checkbox is also used on the pre-order kiosk (and later on the Fusion Online app and website) to present more accurate information to the user. If a product has not been checked for allergens the user will see a disclaimer that the product has not yet had its allergen information confirmed, and if they have allergy concerns, to please speak to the school kitchen before purchasing this item. This helps protect both the school and the user.

Setting allergens

Setting a products allergen information is as simple as:

• Locate the allergens grid
• If the product is known to contain an allergen, click the button within the ‘Contains’ column for that allergen. If there is potential that the product contains this allergen, select the button within the ‘May contain’ column.
• Once the allergens have been set, check the ‘Checked for allergens’ checkbox if not already sone so
• Press ‘Save’ or ‘Save & close’ to finalise

*To remove an allergen, simply click the ‘x’ icon next to the allergen to be removed, under the ‘Clear’ column.

Given that the ‘Checked for allergens’ checkbox has been checked, users now making pre-orders will see the correct allergen information displayed.
