I'm a little confused as to the information on some nutrition labels.

Some say calories per 100g as sold which is easy to work out but then others say per 100g cooked as per instructions.

Does that mean per 100g raw weight as long as it's cooked following their instructions or does it mean per 100g cooked weight? It's a tad ambiguous.

    It means 100g of the final product, as cooked per their instructions.

    This always irritates me. Campbells soup is a big offender, their labels only have the info as prepared as directed, and the directions add whole milk etc, while I use the soup as a base for other things.

    I thought it might but just wanted to double check - thank you.

    Yeah I must admit I've put products back on the shelf after realising it's gonna be a pain to accurately work out the calories in it :smiley:
