FAQ's
What is the purpose of Foodbyte?
Foodbyte is our simple to use online platform which provides food manufacturers and producers with a secure, cloud-based storage facility to upload their essential food specification information, free of charge.
Our goal is to standardise food specification in Ireland, providing the industry with clean and accurate data and to facilitate legislation by accurate displays of this information.
Foodbyte delivers verified food information to FBOs. Foodbyte users gain absolute peace of mind that the data used to inform allergen reports, is clean, from source, and has a seal of approval to certify it’s accuracy.
Who can view the product information I upload?
The purpose of Foodbyte is to transfer essential product information along the supply chain between businesses.
The information uploaded is displayed to your customers when they need to access it through inputting your unique product code. They cannot view the spec sheet itself, but can view the essential Product details, Nutritional and Allergen Information provided to fulfil any requests they might have.
NO commercially sensitive information is on display, only that that is essential for nutritional and allergen guides as well as product names and codes.
I’ve made a mistake when uploading a product and it has been saved, what do I do?
Any errors made while inputting the product data can easily be corrected by going through the same process as the initial product upload; ie Under Product Specifications, clicking on the ‘add/edit’ button.
This time input the product code for the product that contains the wrong information, and then select;
Edit this existing Product
Locate where the incorrect information is and insert the correct details. Once everything has been corrected, jump to the ‘Product Info’ page to save the correct information.
Users also have the option available to use the 'Edit Multiple Products' button if you need to update multiple areas. Please note that the Product Code can not be changed via this method.
In the top left corner of the table you will see a 'Grid Edit' button, select this option to begin updating your products.
I need a product deleted, what do I do?
If for some reason you need a product deleted, please get in touch with us at barry.brady@profcal.ie with the product information that requires deletion.
Having active products that need deletion has no negative effect on your Foodbyte account apart from the internal appearance.
