Allergen & Ingredient Label Maker for Home Bakers (Spreadsheet)

Type each recipe once and get an ingredient statement in order by weight plus a "Contains" allergen line, for every product you sell.

The Allergen & Ingredient Label Maker is a spreadsheet for home and cottage bakers. List your ingredients once with their label wording and allergens, enter each recipe in grams, and the Label Builder writes the ingredient statement (heaviest first) and a Contains line for the 9 major US allergens. A label preview and an allergen matrix for your whole menu are included.
