The label is based on it, right? We need some way to compare the sugar content of products with different package sizes.



Compare per 100g or per 100 calories. Suggested serving amount implies an amount that is considered appropriate to consume at one time. Which is fine for non-essential foods but nonsensical for baby formula.

BTW manufacturers can (and do) play games with the suggested serving amount to make their product appear healthier or more desirable. Standardize on a common denominator for a product category and stick to it. Then, if needed, call out how many units of the product are in that standard size.
