Where to go: the "SAKU Food Labeling" app → the whole left menu


1️⃣ The left menu at a glance

The Shopify admin left menu. Under the "SAKU Food Labeling" app: Display settings, Food labels, Ingredient master, Made-without collections, CSV import/export, Help and Pricing

Menu What you can do
Home (ホーム) See your usage (total products, products with labels, products without labels) and the 4-step "Setup guide" (設定ガイド).
Display settings (食品表示の設定) Decide what to show on product pages, in what order and format, plus notes, icon images, allergen display names and more.
Food labels (食品表示の編集) Enter the food label, allergens and nutrition facts for each product.
Ingredient master (原材料マスター) Register label text for ingredients you use often, and reuse it across products.
Made-without collections (不使用コレクション) Create dedicated collections such as "Egg-free".
CSV import/export (CSV一括登録・書き出し) Register and export food labels in bulk with CSV.

Pricing (料金) Check or change your plan.


2️⃣ If you're not sure, work in this order

  1. In Display settings, choose what to show on product pages (Food label / Allergens / Both).
  2. In Food labels (or CSV import), enter your products' details.
  3. From the Setup guide on the Home page, add the blocks to your theme.
  4. If you need them, create Made-without collections.

The Setup guide on the Home page is designed so you can work through it in this order. For details, see "How to set up the app".

The Home page after setup is complete


3️⃣ What "settings", "input" and the theme editor are each for

It's easy to get confused when you want to change how things look, so here's what each one does.

What you want to do Where to do it
Change what's shown, the order, display format, number of columns and notes "Display settings" in the app
Enter each product's ingredients, allergens and nutrition facts "Food labels" in the app (or CSV)
Change colors, text size, borders, spacing, and the wording of headings and field names Shopify's theme editor (open it from "Adjust text size and color in the theme editor" (テーマエディタで文字の大きさや色を調整) in each section)

For details, see "How to change product page display settings and design" and "How to enter food labels and nutrition facts".


4️⃣ How the pages change depending on what you show

Depending on what you choose in "What to show on product pages" (『「商品ページ」に表示する内容』) in "Display settings", fields you don't use are hidden automatically. Data you've already entered isn't deleted.

What you choose Hidden in "Display settings" Hidden in "Food labels"
Food label (食品表示) Allergen-related settings (featured products and lists, allergen search, icon images, display names, App Proxy path) Allergen fields and allergen advisory
Allergens (アレルゲン) Rows for the number of columns and order of the food label and nutrition facts Food label fields, nutrition fields, templates and input checklist
Both (両方) Nothing Nothing

If you can't find a field, first check what you've chosen to show.


Troubleshooting

  • I can't find the field I want to fill in
    If what you show in "Display settings" is set to "Food label" or "Allergens", fields for the other side aren't shown. Change it to "Both" and save, and all fields appear.
  • I don't know where to change colors
    Colors, text size and borders are changed in the theme editor. Open it with the "Adjust text size and color in the theme editor" button in each section of "Display settings".


Note: this app is a support tool for organizing, displaying and entering food label information. It does not guarantee or determine compliance with Japan's Food Labeling Act or other regulations. Please check the final content of your labels yourself.
