Questions about fruits used primarily as ingredients, avocado
What is the FDA serving size for fruits used primarily as ingredients, avocado?
The FDA reference amount (RACC) for fruits used primarily as ingredients, avocado is 50 g. The label states the serving as “See footnote”.
Is the RACC the same as the serving size?
No. The RACC is the reference amount FDA sets for the whole category. The serving size is what your label declares, in pieces or a household measure plus grams or mL, worked out from the RACC for your product.
When does a label need two columns?
When a product is packaged and sold on its own and the package holds 200% to 300% of the RACC, the label shows two columns: per serving and per package. A package under 200% of the RACC is a single serving, so the whole package is the serving.
Why does servings per container say “about”?
Servings per container is rounded to the nearest whole number, or to the nearest half between 2 and 5 servings. FDA lets a label put “about” in front of the rounded number.
Where do these numbers come from?
- Fruits used primarily as ingredients, avocado reference amount: 21 CFR 101.12 Table 2, as of 2026-02-12.
- Serving size, servings per container, single-serving and two-column rules: 21 CFR 101.9(b), as of 2026-02-12.
