# How Can I Keep Allergen Information Updated Across Every Dish?

You keep it updated by storing allergens against each ingredient and letting every dish inherit them through its recipe, so one change in an ingredient updates all affected dishes. On **Jestor**, this runs through linked **tables** between ingredients and recipes.

Allergen information kept in separate printed sheets gets outdated as soon as a supplier or recipe changes. The risk is not only legal, it is a real danger for guests.

## What outdated allergen sheets cost

- Staff answering guests from memory or old printouts
- Recipe changes that never reach the allergen list
- Time spent updating many documents for one ingredient change
- A serious risk for guests with allergies

## How linked allergen data works

- Allergens are stored on each **ingredient** record
- Every recipe shows the allergens of its ingredients automatically
- A change in an ingredient updates all dishes that use it
- A simple view lets staff look up a dish quickly

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- One update reaches every dish, which reduces human error
- Staff can check a dish in seconds
- Changes are recorded with dates for traceability
- This scales from a small menu to a large multi-unit operation

| Separate printed sheets   | Allergens linked to ingredients |

| Outdated and inconsistent | Updated once, shown everywhere  |
