Alternate formulas for ingredient statements

In the Item form, the Ingredient Statement Formula field can be used to control what ingredients are reported to the ingredient statement for this item. This enables owners of formulas to control:

  • what ingredients are visible to consumers of this item
  • hiding process items or items that are present in only trace quantities

You can also use this field to add ingredients or change the order of the ingredients.

The ingredient statement logic explodes the selected formula(s) to their lowest level. When an item on the formula has an ingredient statement formula defined, that ingredient statement formula is used to explode the current ingredient.

What if the Option field on the rule is either Display sublabel or Explode to subitems? Then the labels for the subitems are retrieved from the ingredient statement formula.
