2026 April Release Notes

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

New Features

When creating new specifications in the product editor, changes made to draft specifications will be saved periodically to avoid accidental loss of progress by not clicking the “Save” button before leaving the editor. Manufacturer users creating new specifications are still advised to actively save their draft specifications using the “Save” button as this feature is a failsafe to prevent accidental data loss.

erudus.com has had the Wholesaler pricing page (erudus.com/wholesalers#pricing) updated to reflect API allowances included in Wholesaler subscriptions and charges for additional API calls outside of subscription. Wholesalers have 4,000 daily API calls included in their subscription and can purchase blocks of additional 1,000 daily calls for £300 per year

When declaring sodium content as negligible for a product, the specification would declare the negligible amount at <0.01mg and not <5mg as it states in the product editor. This has been fixed and now when declaring sodium present in a product at negligible levels, the specification will state the negligible amount at <5mg

The validation engine was not correctly validating certain E numbers against dietary suitability attributes. This has been resolved and the validation engine now recognises all E numbers correctly for diet suitability validations

Validation errors for allergen presence in the ingredients declaration were occurring for non food specifications when there are no allergen attributes to complete. This has been resolved and when completing a non food specification, users will not have their ingredient declarations validated for allergen presence

There was an issue with automatic version stepping for Wholesaler accounts. If a product received a major update that was not acknowledged in a Wholesalers product catalogue and then the product received a minor update at a later date, the system would incorrectly "skip" the major change and automatically step the product to the latest version that had a minor change made. We have now resolved this, if a major change is pending, any subsequent minor changes will be blocked until the major change is manually reviewed and accepted or dismissed
