Sample entry for Avg Qty Per 100g (threshold value) '< 40' kJ

IMPORTANT: The ‘Nutrient Quantity’ value entered must always be the actual value and not the ‘threshold value’

Useful Tips:

The current Food Standard Code states that under some circumstance a threshold value for ‘Avg Qty Per 100ml’ & ‘Avg Qty Per Serve’ can be declared rather than the actual value.
- For example Energy (kj) may be displayed on the Nutritional Information Panel (NIP) as ‘< 40 kJ’ when the actual value is any value less than 40 kJ. The ‘< 40 kJ’ entry for nutrient type Energy is refered to as the ‘threshold value’
- Calculations are made by your data recipient(s) using the ‘Nutrient Quantity’ value entered into the National Product Catalogue. Entering the ‘threshold value’ instead of the actual value will result in invalid data and invalid calculations (‘Avg Qty Per Serve’ is a calculated field based on the ‘Nutrient Quantity’ value).
Repeatable as a group.
