Two methods may be used:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A. By using the Component class<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a composite trade item contains components that do not have individual GTINs and ingredients lists for each component are clearly presented on the package, the ingredients lists for each component should be registered individually.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

B. Without using the Component class<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a composite trade item contains sub-items that do not have individual GTINs, the ingredients list for each sub-item should be registered individually, one after another.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For example: A package contains both serrano ham and sausage. Ingredients should be entered as: \u201cINGREDIENTS: Serrano ham: Salt, E252 preservative Chorizo: Pork, salt, spices, E120 food colouring\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0<\/strong>Some data recipients are unable to receive data provided via the Component class. In such cases use method B above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","support_categories":[136,203,147,192],"support_tags":[],"class_list":["post-15812","support","type-support","status-publish","hentry","support_categories-artikelinformation","support_categories-food-and-beverage-information","support_categories-livsmedelsinformation","support_categories-trade-item-information"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHow do I specify ingredients for composite products? » GS1 Sweden<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gs1.se\/en\/support\/how-do-i-specify-ingredients-for-composite-products\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I specify ingredients for composite products?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Two methods may be used:A.
