Using The Query Builder

The query builder tool allows you to conduct specific searches using Erudus.  This could be anything from searching for a particular manufacturer, foods suitable for a specific allergy group or even searching for a vegan, halal or kosher range.  The below guide shows you how to select specific search parameters using the query builder.
