Print "1 bar" on the label instead of "1 piece"

FDA asks a counted serving to be described as the unit it is. 21 CFR 101.9(b)⁠(5)⁠(iv) says “A description of the individual unit shall be used for other products in discrete units (e.g., piece, slice, cracker, bar).” A serving set by count in BetterMenu can now print that description in place of the category’s generic word.

In Studio, the serving form asks What do you call one? The answer is optional. Leave it empty and the label keeps the category’s word. Type the word your package uses, such as bar or cookie, and a preview shows how it will read, for example On the label: 1 cookie · 2 cookies. For two or more, the label prints the plural. The form fills in the regular plural, and asks you to type it for a name that ends in s or a phrase with “of” in it.

The API and AI assistants take the same name when they add or change a serving. Serving sizes also print cleaner everywhere: 1g and 1 piece, never 1.0g or 1 piece(s).
