Several related ingredient names may appear on one label. You can group them in your notes for a question, but the list does not disclose the percentages needed to reconstruct the recipe.
What to check
| Check | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Names | Transcribe each ingredient separately. |
| Grouping | Label any family grouping as your own analysis. |
| Limit | Do not invent a combined weight or ranking. |

Transcribe each ingredient separately.
Label any family grouping as your own analysis.
Do not invent a combined weight or ranking.
A practical example
Peas and pea starch are separate printed entries. Adding their unseen amounts cannot establish where a combined pea category would rank.
Before you decide
Ask the manufacturer for clarification instead of reverse-engineering unknown quantities.
