08Methodology & computation basis

  1. 1Ingredient matching — every recipe line is matched to the pinned food-composition dataset cited on the cover; manually entered values are marked as such.
  2. 2Process modeling — each declared cooking step applies mass-yield and nutrient-retention factors; the resulting mass trace is reproduced in the process section.
  3. 3Composition — nutrient totals are aggregated for the finished product and normalized to the statutory per-100 basis.
  4. 4Derived quantities — energy and derived values (salt, available carbohydrate, kJ) are computed with the market's statutory conversion factors.
  5. 5Rounding & display — every declared value is rounded under the market's statutory rounding rule; the applied rule is quoted verbatim per nutrient.
  6. 6Front-of-pack judgment — thresholds are evaluated against the market's limit tables in force on the declaration date; every measured-vs-limit comparison is audited above.

This computation is deterministic: the same recipe snapshot, regulation version and dataset always reproduce this document exactly. Its integrity can be checked against the SHA-256 hash printed on the cover.

  • Carbohydrate + protein + fat totals 112.4 g per 100 g. Check yield (concentration/drying) or ingredient data.
  • Free sugar was estimated from added sugar and fruit-juice share — enter supplier free-sugar values for judgment-grade precision.

10Operator responsibility & citations

Nutrition values in this report were calculated from authoritative database entries (USDA FoodData Central) and the stated recipe. Under 21 CFR 101.9(g), compliance is determined by laboratory analysis of composites of the marketed product; databases used for calculation carry no FDA approval safe harbor for general processed foods. Final responsibility for label accuracy rests with the food business operator. Laboratory confirmation is recommended for recipes with high process variability (frying, fermentation, large moisture change).

Law:

Rounding:
21 CFR 101.9(c)
Tolerance:
21 CFR 101.9(g)(4)–(6)
Database calculation basis:
21 CFR 101.9(g) sets how FDA determines compliance (composite laboratory analysis of the marketed product against the tolerance classes), not how declared values are derived; FDA does not mandate finished-product analysis to generate them. FDA Guidance for Industry: Guide for Developing and Using Data Bases for Nutrition Labeling (1998) contemplates database-derived label values.

12Scope & limitations

The values in this report are computed from the cited food-composition databases and the recipe as entered; they are not a laboratory analysis of the finished product. Where a borderline advisory appears, confirmatory analysis is recommended.

The declaration reflects the regulation version in force on 2026-07-01. Regulatory texts change; re-check before reprinting artwork after that date.

The food business operator remains responsible for the accuracy of the inputs (recipe, ingredient specifications, serving size) and for final label compliance, including elements outside this report's scope (allergen declaration, ingredient list, claims wording, language requirements).
