Merging ingredients can be done when you have multiple ingredient names and information that are identical. For instance if you just use Diamond Kosher Salt in your kitchen, yet in your meez ingredients list you have Salt, Kosher Salt and Diamond Kosher Salt. In your kitchen when you use the word Salt you mean just the one kind. So then you can merge the ingredients together so you will only have one Salt in your meez ingredients.
