2018

Genesis R&D Foods Version 11.7 is Now Available!

This important Genesis R&D Foods update includes an all-new Attributes feature to help you track Recipe and Ingredient characteristics, such as bioengineered (BE) material (which will help with compliance for the soon-to-be mandatory BE labeling laws) and other properties. We’ve also made some user-interface changes, configured the Canadian Labels to align with the latest compendium and added or updated thousands of database items. For a detailed overview of this update, read our blog, or watch our webinar.


We’ve redesigned our Software Tutorial Pages

We’ve taken each product’s tutorials and organized them into sections so you can learn by topic and more easily find what you need. Check it out in Genesis R&D Foods, Genesis R&D Supplements and Food Processor.

How do I label Added Sugars and Total Sugars if the single-ingredient product I’m selling (maple syrup) is considered by the FDA to be an added sugar?

The FDA’s final guidance on this matter, published in June 2019, clarified that for single-ingredient sugars (which includes syrups), the Added Sugars line, listed below the Total Sugars, will show only the %DV and not the “Added Sugars” text. Furthermore, there is a dagger symbol after the %DV referring consumers to an Added Sugars footnote, which says “One serving adds Xg of sugar to your diet and represents X% of the Daily Value for Added Sugars.”

For more information on Added Sugars, please see this article.
