Why nutrition and allergens matter
01
Keep guests safe
Guests, clients and residents get accurate allergens before they eat, not after a complaint.
02
One source of truth
Change an allergen or vendor label on an ingredient and every recipe, label, and menu item updates.
03
Compliance without a third party
Export print-ready Nutrition Facts from your actual recipe yield when RFPs or auditors ask.

A wrong allergen is not a typo. It’s a guest at risk.
No kitchen can afford allergen notes trapped in a binder while the recipe in the system says something else. A sub-recipe changes, a vendor swaps a product, and the sign at the counter is wrong. Nutrition requests shouldn’t mean rebuilding a spreadsheet every quarter.
Take labels seriously
Guests come back when they trust what’s on the label, the menu and the box. That trust starts at the ingredient.
Built for every kitchen that labels food
Same recipes, same rollup, whatever you serve and however you sell it.
Restaurants & cafés
Answer “what’s in this?” from the recipe, not the cook’s memory. Allergens stay right when a sub-recipe changes.
Independent restaurantsBakeries & grab-and-go
Print-ready Nutrition Facts from the actual recipe yield for every packaged item, baker’s percentage formulas included.
ChefsSchools & senior kitchens
Nutrition and allergen proof for every meal in the rotation, ready when an auditor or a family asks.
Senior centersCaterers
Allergens on your online store before checkout and on the packing label for every box that leaves.

Allergen rollup
Tag once. Every dish downstream updates.
Assign definite, potential, and trace allergens on ingredients. Sub-recipes roll into parent recipes. Menu items inherit the union. Every label and menu reads the same source.
- See which ingredient introduced each allergen on the recipe
- The same rollup feeds menus, labels and the online store
- Account-level allergen library in settings
Nutrition sources
USDA, vendor labels, or custom profiles
Not every ingredient matches USDA cleanly. Enter Nutrition Facts from the vendor SKU you actually buy, link USDA reference data, or hand-enter a custom profile. Pick the source per ingredient and recipe labels roll up from there.
- Vendor item label entry with serving size and full nutrient panel
- Preferred vendor label flows to the linked ingredient automatically
- Switch source: USDA, vendor label, or custom per ingredient
- Recipe overrides and FDA export when you need a formal panel

If you sell online
Customers check allergens before they order
Nobody ordering online should have to call to ask what has nuts. On the Catering plan, turn on allergen display per menu item and your online store shows the same rollup the kitchen uses, so self-serve orders keep coming without a pile of questions.
- Allergens in product details before the item goes in the cart
- Dietary tags like vegetarian, vegan, and halal for filtering
- The same allergens print on the packing label for each box
Open new markets
Win institutional work with labels ready to send
Schools, senior centers, and other institutional buyers often ask for nutrition and allergen proof. Answer from the same recipes you produce every week.
Allergens on every surface guests touch
Start from recipe costing, where the same recipe carries its plate cost. Show allergens on your online storefront before checkout. Print them on event boxes with labeling. Plan resident weeks in senior center kitchens.
Where's the allergen coming from? Roux traces it.
Roux builds recipes with ingredients matched to USDA data, traces every allergen on a menu item back to the ingredient that carries it, and fixes it at the ingredient. He opens a recipe's nutrition facts label, and edits what the label shows.
Try asking Roux
- “Where does the sesame in the poke bowl come from?”
- “Mark our house sriracha as containing soy”
- “Open the nutrition label for the tikka box”
- “Set the short ribs to 12 servings for the label”
Roux proposes, you approve. Nothing saves until you do, and he only works in the apps you have turned on.

Two places: the toasted sesame oil in the marinade and the furikake on top. Swap both and the bowl is sesame free.
Nutrition & allergens FAQ
How do allergens roll up in PrepStation?
Tag allergens on each ingredient. They propagate through recipes, sub-recipes, and menu items automatically. Change an ingredient allergen and every downstream dish updates.
Can I enter nutrition from a vendor product label?
Yes. On any vendor item, enter Nutrition Facts from the packaging label, including serving size and nutrient values. When that vendor item is the preferred supplier for an ingredient, the label data can flow into recipe nutrition calculations.
Can I print FDA-style nutrition labels?
Yes. Recipes calculate nutrition per serving from USDA-linked ingredients, vendor label data, or custom profiles, then export a Nutrition Facts panel as HTML or PDF.
Can I override a nutrition value?
Yes. Hand-correct a value on the recipe when lab analysis or vendor data differs from the USDA rollup.
Is this only for caterers?
No. Allergens, nutrition and FDA-style Nutrition Facts labels are on the Kitchen plan, for any kitchen that cooks from recipes: restaurants, cafés, bakeries, grab-and-go, commissaries, schools and senior kitchens.
Do customers see allergens when they order online?
Yes, if you sell through the PrepStation online store on the Catering plan. Turn on allergen display per menu item and customers see allergens in product details before they add the item to the cart.
What allergen presence types are supported?
Definite, potential, and trace levels roll up from ingredient assignments so kitchen and compliance teams see how confident each flag is.
Do packing labels include allergens?
Yes. Label templates can include allergen blocks that pull from the same rollup as recipes and menu items. See the labeling feature for batch print workflows.
Can I create ingredients from USDA nutrition data?
Yes. Link ingredients to the USDA nutrition database so nutrition facts and yields start from authoritative food reference data.
