What This Does
Some ingredients contribute mass during preparation but are removed before serving. Examples include water used for boiling pasta or rice, brine drained from canned vegetables, or oil that drips off during cooking. Excluding an ingredient's weight from the serving size keeps that ingredient's nutrients, meal credits, and cost in the recipe while removing its gram weight from the printed serving size.
How the Exclusion Affects the Recipe
Serving-size weight on the Nutrition Sheet and Nutrition Facts Panel no longer includes the excluded ingredient's grams.
Nutrients from the excluded ingredient still count toward the recipe.
Meal credits for the excluded ingredient still count.
Cost for the excluded ingredient still counts.
Recipe Nutrient Composition Report marks the excluded ingredient with "(weight excluded)."
