Description
Return drained/net yield and label value times net/drained.
Food quantities depend on whether their basis is gross, edible, drained, wet, dry or solid mass. Changing the denominator can change a reported concentration or yield without changing the actual sample or proving anything about its safety.
Return drained/net yield and label value times net/drained.
When to use this tool
Use Food Label Drained Yield Crosswalk when you need a stated food-mass, composition-basis or yield calculation.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter netMass, drainedMass, labelPerNetMass. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read drainedYield, perDrainedMass. Use the output convention below.
Require positive drained mass no greater than net mass and nonnegative labelPerNetMass. Return drained/net yield and label value times net/drained.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| drainedMass | Drained Mass | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| labelPerNetMass | Label Per Net Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| drainedYield | Drained Yield | Required. Finite number. |
| perDrainedMass | Per Drained Mass | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The same nutrient or analyte amount is assumed retained after draining. No actual losses or jurisdiction-specific labeling basis are established.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Reconcile measured quantities and preparation records on a common basis. Use the appropriate laboratory, nutritional or safety assessment when arithmetic alone cannot establish the intended property.
