The label displays the serving size that was entered on the formula screen. You can modify what is shown by checking or unchecking the available options:

• Include weight in serving size – Unchecking will hide weight (usually gram weight in parenthesis)

• Include prepared serving size – If entered, this will appear on the label.

• Include Servings Per Container – If entered, this will appear on the label.

• Use abbreviated measure in Serving Size – Check this to show ea instead of each, etc.

• Serving Size Override – What automatically appears on the label is determined by what was entered on the Formula page. You can override any of those here.

NOTE: Changes made here will not affect the other label templates for the same formula.
