Serving size and rounding choices directly change your Nutrition Facts values. If either is inconsistent, your labels can drift from batch to batch.
A reliable process requires:
- a clear serving definition
- stable recipe quantities
- rule-consistent output generation
Why this is hard
- producers often revise recipes while reusing old serving settings
- handwritten adjustments are easy to forget
- "close enough" rounding shortcuts create hidden variance
Practical checklist
- define serving as sold/consumed
- lock recipe quantities before final run
- regenerate panel after any recipe or serving change
- compare old vs new output before printing
Common mistakes
- changing yield but not servings
- adjusting ingredient quantities without rerunning label generation
- mixing calculations from multiple tools/sheets
What to do in Nutrifax
- Confirm servings/yield in builder.
- Verify ingredient quantities and units.
- Generate Canadian panel.
- If values differ from previous print run, check changed inputs and regenerate.
- Archive export with recipe version notes.
