Find and Replace Ingredients
The 'find & replace' feature is available on premium, enterprise and research plans only.
With real time click and ‘replace all’ functionality, you can swap brands across recipes and menus quickly and easily ensuring confidence that the correct information, including ingredient lists with full allergen profile is available for your customers.
You can also update ingredient quantities across all recipes in batch.
To replace ingredients:
- If the substitute product is not already in the Nutritics database, add it by following our guide on adding ingredients to Nutritics (making sure the allergen information matches the substitute product).
- Open a recipe where an ingredient needs to be replaced.
- Scroll to the recipe ingredients and right click on the ingredient that needs to be replaced.

- Tick the substitute ingredient (4) and click ‘Review’ (5).
- Clicking review will show any changes to the recipe after replacing the food. For example, any additional allergens, or changes in calorie content. ‘Contains’ allergens will show as a larger icon and ‘may contain’ allergens will be smaller. You can hover over the allergens to see this also.
