2025 April Release Notes

This release notes article documents the new features, fixes, validations and new attributes added to Erudus for the month

Fixes

All Users

• May Contain Risk Source attributes were excluded from CSV exports when they were introduced until more specifications moved onto new specification types post launch. They have now been included in CSV exports from Query Builder when the allergen dataset is selected for query results.

Manufacturer Users

• “Not Applicable” has been added as an option for the “Primary Ingredient Origin” attribute for instances where a product does not have a primary ingredient or the primary ingredient origin does not differ from the country of origin of the product

• The validation for the “Allergen Statement on Pack” and the “Additional Allergen Information” attributes to validate May Contain statements against allergen declarations has been modified to handle May Contain statements against parent allergens Nuts and Cereals where one derivative may be present and others may be present

API Users

• There was an issue where some products that had been archived were still showing as ‘published’ when accessing the data via the API. This has been resolved and now all archived products will be archived when calling the product using the API

New Attributes

• The following options have been added to the ‘Product Category’ attribute for the ‘Non Food’ specification type:
• Paper
• Ink 

• The following accreditation attributes have been added to relevant specification types:

• Roundtable on Responsible Soy (RTRS)
• Iceland Responsible Fisheries (IRF)
• GlobalG.A.P.
• Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM)
• MEL Japan
