This article explains how to change the allergen icon images and the allergen names shown in your store to suit your shop.
In this article
- How to replace icon images
- How to change allergen display names
- Where your changes appear
Where to go: SAKU Food Labeling app → "Food label settings" (食品表示の設定) → the collapsible sections at the bottom of the page
Note: when what you show on the product page is set to "Food label" only, these two sections don't appear.
Note: the app's admin screens are in Japanese. In this guide, screen and button names are translated into English, with the original Japanese label in parentheses where it helps you find it.
What you need before you start
- The SAKU Food Labeling app is installed.
- In "Food label settings", what you show on the product page is set to "Allergens" or "Both".
- The image you want to use (PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF, up to 3 MB per image).
1️⃣ Replace icon images
Open the SAKU Food Labeling app → "Food label settings", then open "Allergen icon image settings (you can change them to any image)" (アレルゲンアイコンの画像設定) at the bottom of the page. It is closed at first. There is a box for each allergen, and allergens whose icon you haven't replaced show "Using bundled default" (同梱デフォルト使用中).
- Drag and drop an image onto a box, or click the box and choose from "Choose image".
- "Choose from computer": PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF, up to 3 MB per image.
- "Choose from store files": uses an image already uploaded to Shopify as it is, without uploading it again.
- "Reset to default" switches back to the bundled icon.
Icon changes are saved as soon as you choose an image (no save button needed). When "Icon saved." appears, you're done.
2️⃣ Change display names
In the same "Food label settings" page, open "Allergen display name settings (you can change them to any name)" (アレルゲンの表示名設定) and type the name you want in the field for each of the 29 allergens. For example, change 卵 (egg) to 鶏卵 (hen's egg). If you leave a field empty, the original name is used. When you're done, press "Save display names" (表示名を保存).
3️⃣ Where your changes appear
- Icons: shared everywhere — the "Food label" block on product pages, featured products and product cards.
- Display names: used in the table on product pages, featured products and product lists, product cards, "Find allergen-free items", the checkboxes on the product editing screen, and more.
Troubleshooting
-
"The image is too large (max 3 MB)." appears
Make the image smaller (3 MB or less) and try again. -
"Please select an image file." appears
Choose a PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF image. -
"Store files can't be opened on this screen. Please choose from your computer." appears
Choose the image with "Choose from computer". -
I changed it, but nothing changed in my store
Changes can take a little while to appear. Reload your browser and check again.
