Nutritional information

The full nutritional details of a product can be stored against each product. This information will be presented to users using the pre-order kiosk (and later Fusion Online) which will allow them to make an informed decision when making pre-orders, and also assist the school in complying with distance selling requirements.

*The nutritional information is currently for informational purposes, but if you have suggestions/ideas on how to extend this functionality, for example maybe some reports to use this information, please use our Product Board portal for Fusion and this will be picked up by our product owner.

Serving size and unit (grams/millilitres)

The serving size is used to calculate the value of each macronutrient per serving. You can leave this as 0. In this instance, the user will only be presented the information per 100g (if nutritional information has been entered).

The serving unit toggle allows you to specify if the product is served in grams or millilitres. This is simply informational and changes if the user sees 100g or 100ml on the serving size and nutritional info.

“5 a day” count

This value is also presented to users to show how many portions of fruit and veg this product counts towards their “5 a day”.

Nutrients

We have split our nutrients into two separate tables, macronutrients and micronutrients.

Macronutrients

This table should look rather familiar, as this is the standard way of presenting nutritional information to users on product labels. Essentially, these are the nutrients that people care most about.

*While some of these nutrients, such as salt, aren’t technically “macronutrients”, this was the easiest way to label them.

If you wish to enter nutrient values, enter these per 100g/ml. Fusion will automatically calculate the values for each serving based on the specified serving size.

!Entering a value for one or more nutrients will display the full macronutrients table to the user on the product information screen on the pre-order kiosk. Not entering any information will present a simple “None specified” note to the user instead.

Micronutrients

This is a list of all other recognised nutrients. These are not typically present on product labelling unless the value is particularly high, for example Vitamin C in orange juice or calcium in milk.

If you wish to enter nutrient values, enter these per 100g/ml. Fusion will automatically calculate the values for each serving based on the specified serving size.

*Only those nutrients that have a value set will be presented to the user on the product information screen on the pre-order kiosk.
