Further information for VITAL® Online Users on the update from version 3.1.8 (previous version) to version 3.1.9 (updated version)
On Wednesday 29th of March, 2023 VITAL® Online will be updated from v3.1.8 (previous version) to v3.1.9 (updated version) to have:
- Bug fix for Processing Profile labelling outcome hierarchy
Please note that this issue may have caused incorrect labelling outcomes between December 16th 2022 and March 28th 2023 under the following circumstances
- A processing profile used from the library in the recipe; and,
- The processing profile has multiple sources which contain at least 2 cross contacts from the same allergen (e.g. soy); and,
- At least one of the cross contact allergens in the processing profiles is a particulate and one of the cross contact allergens is readily dispersible
VITAL Online Version 3.1.9 update has corrected any labelling outcomes which were reported incorrectly during this period.
This update will cause all recipes to be outdated and this can be resolved by the Account Owner utilizing the Update All functionality. The Comparison of Recipe Versions functionality will assist VITAL Online account owners to track changes to allergen status and labelling outcomes for different revisions (versions) of a recipe due to this change.
Q. How can recipes which may have a changed labelling outcome be identified?
A. Account Owners and Account Users can track changes to the recipe using the Comparison of Recipe Versions functionality. This provides all changes in a single report.
Q. How has the Allergen Bureau managed this issue?
A. The Allergen Bureau has contacted each company who may be affected by this issue and provided tracking tools to assist users. The Allergen Bureau has reviewed procedures to verify calculation configurations in VITAL Online.
