Calculation limitations
- Nutrition is a calculated estimate, not a laboratory measurement.
- The final yield is an editorial estimate.
- Some ingredient quantities use documented estimates or household-measure assumptions.
- The number of servings is an editorial estimate (midpoint of the source range or based on the dish type and energy).
- Fibre, saturated fat and sodium of cooked ingredients are estimated from the consumed ingredient amounts; for drained ingredients, sodium is included only where the retained amount is an explicit editorial estimate.
- Some process effects could not be resolved in this calculation.
