FAQ
Q: Is a RACC different from a serving size?
A: Yes, the RACC is used to derive a serving size for a particular product. The following example shows how to use the RACC to determine the serving size for a 16 oz (454g) pizza:
- Step 1 – From the RACCs table (21 CFR 101.12(b)), you determine that the RACC for pizza is 140g.
- Step 2 – Calculate the fraction of the pizza that is closest to the RACC of 140g (calculations are shown for a pie of net weight 16oz/454g pizza):
- 1/3 X 454g = 151g
- 1/4 X 454g = 113g
- Note that 151g is closer than 113g to the RACC for pizza (140g)
