Product and package
Use the filled example first. Then replace each field with a measured value or your best current estimate.
Step 1Answer one question at a time. Your example values stay available.
Important limit
RACC is a reference amount, not always the label serving.
Serving-size rules differ for discrete units, large discrete units, bulk products, single-serving containers, and packages containing 200% to 300% of the RACC. Confirm the category, household measure, metric rounding, dual-column requirements, and current 21 CFR 101.9 and 101.12 rules.
