Instead of Genesis R&D

Stop renting Genesis R&D. Own your formulation records.

We build your version around how your food business develops and reviews recipes, map the records you can export, and run it for you. Your technical team keeps control of product and label approval.

Genesis does not publish a licence price on its product page. Bring your renewal quote so we can compare the work you use.

What your Genesis renewal covers

Look at the work behind the licence

Genesis combines formulation, nutrient analysis and labelling. Your invoice is the starting point: separate the records your team owns from the specialist services you still need.

database

Ingredient information

Genesis offers an ingredient library and lets you add your own. Your supplier evidence remains the starting point for your own version.

layers

Recipe quantities and yields

The formulation record links ingredient amounts to finished yield. Those are the inputs behind the calculations.

calculate

Nutrient analysis

Genesis calculates nutrition from ingredients and yields. Your own version keeps each input visible for technical review.

description

Label preparation

Genesis produces labels for different markets. We agree the label workflow your technical reviewer needs before replacing that work.

history

Recipe versions

Genesis tracks formula changes. Your version keeps named reviews and the exact inputs behind them.

bar_chart

Cost and nutrient reports

Genesis reports costs, yields and nutrients. Your database can combine those records with overdue supplier evidence and review owners.

Your formulation desk

Ask what changed, what it costs and what needs review

Supplier evidence

One change, every affected recipe

An overdue supplier sheet becomes a list of recipes to review, with the ingredient and owner alongside it.

  • check See missing and overdue specification dates
  • check Find every recipe using an ingredient
  • check Keep unknown allergen declarations visible
  • check Draft a supplier evidence request from the affected recipes

Recipe costs

Show the cost of the serving you sell

Ingredient quantities, prices and finished yield produce a working batch cost and serving cost.

  • check Compare ingredient cost per batch and serving
  • check Keep missing costs marked as unknown
  • check Flag mixed currencies instead of combining them
  • check Scale the weighing sheet to a different finished weight

Technical review

See when an old review no longer applies

A changed ingredient or quantity makes the earlier recipe review stale. The reviewer can inspect the original inputs.

  • check See recipes changed since their last review
  • check Retain a named review and its source values
  • check Prepare an internal recipe card and review pack
  • check Combine review gaps with the recipes affected by overdue supplier evidence

Working calculations

Trace a result to its ingredients

Your team can inspect nutrient contributions and compare trials before approving any production label.

  • check Show sugar and sodium contributions by ingredient
  • check Compare two recipes per unit weight
  • check Keep missing nutrient values unknown
  • check Prepare a draft nutrition worksheet for a qualified reviewer

Switching

How to switch from Genesis R&D

A move involves exporting your records, mapping and checking editable data, then reconciling it against Genesis R&D before you switch over.

  1. 1

    Export your records

    Export Genesis Recipe Analysis and Report Sections as text so you can retain those reports unchanged. For editable records, export what your Genesis R&D account allows, usually CSV or Excel, and check with Genesis R&D if you are unsure about the available options. Include the recipe and ingredient information you need to carry forward, such as quantities and nutrient values, along with any available source details.

  2. 2

    Load a test import

    Keep the text reports as reference records, and map editable data into the new database before importing it. Check that units and source values are clear. Run the import’s test option first, then review the result before applying the records. The import does not rebuild ingredient quantities from text reports or bring across a licensed nutrient database.

  3. 3

    Check the import results

    Review anything the import flags, then compare the imported record counts with your Genesis R&D records and reconcile differences. Check that ingredient quantities, units, nutrient values and their sources match the originals. Keep missing values visible rather than filling them with assumptions. Resolve gaps that matter to your team before relying on the new records for working calculations or technical reviews.

  4. 4

    Run both systems side by side

    For a short period, keep Genesis R&D available while your team works from the new register as well. Compare important recipes and working calculations against the original records, and check that retained reports are easy to find. Use this period to catch mapping or source-value problems and reconcile them before you stop using Genesis R&D.

  5. 5

    Switch off Genesis R&D

    When your team has checked the records it needs and reconciled the important differences, move your day-to-day formulation work to the new register. Arrange any account closure or renewal changes directly with Genesis R&D. Keep the exported records and reports your business needs for its own reference, and make sure your team knows where to find them.

Where the real effort goes

The real work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, checking units and source values, and deciding how much history to bring across. Text reports can be retained unchanged, while editable inputs need explicit mapping and reconciliation against the originals. If you have Enterprise DNA run the switch, they do this migration work with you.

Questions

Instead of Genesis R&D, answered

Does this include the Genesis ingredient library? expand_more

No. Your own version uses the nutrient values and supplier specifications you have rights to use. We agree the source of those values with your technical team and preserve the evidence behind them.

Can I bring my Genesis recipes across? expand_more

Genesis documents text exports for recipe analysis and report sections. The free version retains those reports unchanged. Editable ingredient quantities and nutrient values need explicit mapping and unit checks. That work is part of the managed switch, followed by reconciliation against your original records.

Can I print an approved nutrition label from the free version? expand_more

The free version produces an internal nutrition worksheet, recipe card and review pack. Your food business remains responsible for label approval. We can build your approved label workflow into your version around the markets and products you serve.

How does this compare with my Genesis renewal? expand_more

Genesis does not publish a licence amount on its product page. We compare your actual renewal with the work your team needs. The free version has no licence fee; hosting, your assistant subscription, data sources and technical review still have costs. Enterprise DNA charges a setup fee, then a retainer for agreed ongoing work.

What happens when a supplier changes an ingredient? expand_more

You update the ingredient’s records and see every recipe using it. Existing reviews become stale when their inputs change. A named reviewer checks the new evidence and calculations before the food business approves anything for production.
