Read the food description

The packing medium is part of the food description. If liquid is discarded, find a matching drained record rather than assuming these values still apply.

These are source reference values. A specific brand, recipe or portion can differ. Total sugar is distinct from carbohydrate and should not be relabeled as added sugar.
