Volume, count and load converter
Three routes from something you can measure to a weight you can report, with the state as generated rule applied where it matters.
Volume to weight
Count to weight
Liquid loss through chemical oxygen demand
1.00 means the measured load is already expressed as food solids
The rule that catches people. The FLW Standard says the reported weight of food
loss and waste must reflect the state in which it was generated, that is, before water was added or
before its own water was taken out. A tomato that left through the drain is reported as tomato at its
own moisture, not as the dried solids you measured. Record every conversion factor you used and where
it came from, because an auditor will ask.
