A crude-fiber maximum is an upper guarantee for that label measure. It is not a complete description of every type of dietary fiber in the recipe.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Number | Preserve the maximum qualifier. |
| Terminology | Do not relabel crude fiber as total dietary fiber. |
| Comparison | Ask whether a supplied analysis uses the same measurement. |

Preserve the maximum qualifier.
Do not relabel crude fiber as total dietary fiber.
Ask whether a supplied analysis uses the same measurement.
A practical example
If one brochure gives total dietary fiber and the bag gives crude fiber, place them on separate lines rather than subtracting them.
Before you decide
A matching word fragment does not make two laboratory measures interchangeable.
