Canadian Bilingual Format with French Ingredients List First

Posted on June 15, 2017 by

In ReciPal's Canadian bilingual format, the English ingredient list and allergen declaration have always been shown ahead of the French ones. And we didn't have any way for you to change that inside the software. But no more! You can now switch the order because sometimes, especially in Quebec, it just makes more sense to have the French come first.

Furthermore, when using the New Canadian formats, this option will reverse all the text in the nutrition label as well.

Setting The Option

Once you've chosen the bilingual format, you'll find the option for "French Ingredients First" under the "Label Sections" menu on the label page. Just check the box.


Choosing French Ingredients First Toggle

To show your French ingredients and allergens above the English just check the box.

Seeing The Results

You won't see a change on the screen for the ingredients and allergens when you check the box. But when you download the label, the French ingredients list and allergens will come before the English ones.

Et voila!

We hope the extra flexibility in ReciPal's nutrition label maker is useful . Let us know what you think in the comments below!
