Quality Monitoring

Generic errors

• Errors

Categorisation errors

• Single ingredient check:
  • Brazil nuts(unsalted) should only contain the ingredient Brazil nuts;
• Opposites:
  • Unshelled Brazil nuts and Shelled Brazil nuts should not be assigned simultaneously;
  • Brazil nuts(salted) and Brazil nuts(unsalted) should not be assigned simultaneously;
• Oneside opposites:

These are categories which are incompatible and which are often due to adding an ingredient as a category:

• • Mixed nuts - to suppress adding all the different nuts in mixed nuts;
  • Chocolate covered Brazil nuts - to suppress chocolate covered brazil nuts;
