The system: iMIS Food SpecCheck
iMIS Food includes a specification and labeling management system that can be aligned with existing systems. With the specification management system, a company has all end-product specifications under control. The system provides a complete management system from the raw material to the label on the finished product. As a result, end product specifications are provided with good ingredient declaration, nutritional values, and allergens. The approval procedure ensures that the label and specification match.
Working with the iMIS Food SpecCheck provides the following benefits:
Certainty
- Be able to provide the correct product specifications immediately
- The correct ingredient declaration, allergens, and nutritional values are ready
- Professional specification management
Quality
- Well-arranged specification management
- Legally correct ingredient declarations for goods
- Insight into allergens and nutritional values
Efficiency
- Good control of raw material specifications and recipes
- Automatic build-up of end-product specifications
- Clear approval procedure for end-product specifications

Overview
The home screen of the iMIS Food SpecCheck consists of ingredients: an overview of the ingredients, which make up the raw materials and end products.
- Raw materials: the raw material information from the suppliers, which is linked to the ingredient list.
- Sub-products: the recipes and sub-recipes that make up the end product
- End products: the final calculated end product information which is approved for use
Ingredients
The ingredient overview is the basis of the iMIS Food SpecCheck. These ingredients can be set up by the user himself with multiple languages and E-number functions, creating a company-specific ingredient table. The ingredients can be provided with an allergen profile. If the supplier has forgotten to state an allergen at raw material level, this has no impact on the final product declaration. It can also be seen in which end products this ingredient is present so that the additives regulation can be complied with.
Raw materials
In the overview of the raw materials, the raw material specifications of the suppliers are adopted. By linking the specified ingredients to the company-specific ingredient table, the information can ultimately be used for calculations. The origin can also be indicated at the ingredient level. The relevant function can also be selected per E-number. All nutritional information can be taken from the raw material itself and checked for correctness via the NEVO table. It is also indicated whether the correct calorific values have been specified by the supplier.
Sub-products
With sub-products, you can relate the raw materials to recipes. Products with a one-time composition step can be entered directly at the sub-product level, for example, a soup, a ham, or a biscuit. Products that contain various compositions, such as meals or meal salads, can ultimately be related to each other at the end product level with different sub-products. In accordance with the GFSI requirements, the specifications (including ingredients and allergens) of all semi-finished products are known.
End products
In the end product overview, the (sub) recipes of the company are combined into the desired end product. All ingredients, allergens, nutritional values, and countries of origin are automatically calculated to produce a correct label. It can be configured per ingredient whether an ingredient still has a function in the end product, whether the percentage should be displayed on the label, and whether or not the E-number should be written out. The product variables can also be entered for the end product specification and moisture loss can be taken into account. Certain raw materials can also be declared separately at the label level. Once approved, the new final product specification is ready to use.
