Tracking allergens has become a necessity for restaurants, and Garde provides a straightforward way to trace and view those! You define your list of allergens and mark which products contain which allergens. Then any recipe that uses those products as ingredients will automatically get flagged and automatically stay updated if any ingredients change. Mark it once on a product and it will automatically create a list of every applicable recipe!
