ingredient in your recipe2. Select and add each ingredient to your ingredient list,

including the amount used3. Enter your final recipe or batch weight (if it is different to

the weight of your ingoing ingredients), the serve size and number of serves per package and

4. Produce your nutrition information panel and then print or save it.
