if it says not to thawed it first/is to be cooked from frozen state, than you weight it in frozen state.
at least thats the way i have always done it.

The packet should say in which state the nutritional information refers to.

For example...

https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Mccain-Sweet-Potato-Fries/294765011

Gives data for both 'baked' and 'frozen'.

What does your packaging say?

Yeah those things are annoying, especially if you get freezer burn on them and it totally messes up the weight... but typically I believe that when it comes to frozen food, you have to weigh it frozen (which is hilarious for 'steam in the bag' veggies, I got to say).
