Q51. When labeling the nutrition fact of bone-in meat products such as scented wing roots, scented pig's trotters, pig tails, etc., is it necessary to indicate "based on edible parts"?

Answer: Foods that contain non-edible parts such as skin, bones, seeds, such as canned ribs, fish, bagged nuts, etc., should first calculate the edible part (the calculation formula is as follows), and then indicate the energy and nutrient content in the edible part. To make the label more clear, it can be labeled "in edible parts"

Edible part = (total weight-waste amount) / total weight × 100%
