Quantity and quantitative ingredient declarations (QUID)
Quantity
Some foods are sold in so-called 'prescribed quantities' eg. all pre-packed bread is sold in multiples of 400g. Virtually all food must display a quantity. All the information on quantities refers to 'Net Weight' ie. the weight without the packaging.
Quantitative Ingredient Declarations (QUID)
QUID declarations are made as a percentage of the ingredient or of the entire product when the ingredient or category of ingredient is:
- Highlighted by labelling or picture eg. 'extra cheese'
- Mentioned in the name of the product eg. 'Cheese and onion pasty'
- Normally connected with the name by the consumer eg. fruit in a summer pudding
