Zubi web-based food compliance information system

Zubi is a web-based system that calculates all the compliance information for a food label and provides it in one PDF document. It is fast and can avoid costly mistakes that lead to recalls or label reprints.

The system eliminates the need to enter ingredient, formulation and product information into multiple systems and then combine all these into one report.

Zubi automatically creates the ingredients list, including adding characterising ingredients when requested. When formulations are adjusted, the system will recalculate the list.

The product can calculate nutrition information such as whether a vitamin should be removed because it is less than 10% RDI. It lets users add any extra nutrients and will calculate the % DI.

The system can track all allergens from ingredients and processes and can create an automated allergen statement. It provides peace of mind and eliminates time spent double-checking for allergens.

The web-based system can be accessed from anywhere where there is an internet connection. Staff can look at the same formulations from different places.

Zubi is structured around a database so any changes a user makes to an ingredient or formulation will instantly flow through to all products they are used in. The system allows users to convert a product back into an ingredient so it can be added to a formulation and then used in another product, which is useful for pre-mixes made on-site.

The ingredient database in Zubi includes more than 700 items from the NZ Food Composition tables. As well as providing nutrition information, these items have ingredient and allergen declarations already loaded.
