Brownie Label

Brownie labels need the name, the net weight, an ingredient list, an allergen line, your name and address and, unless you are exempt, Nutrition Facts. Brownies have their own FDA reference amount of 40 g, apart from cookies and cakes. A regular square is one serving, and brownie bites are counted up to the number closest to 40 g. Enter your recipe and the tool sets the serving for you.

Things that are different for brownies

40 gBrownies have their own servingCookies are 30 g and cakes 55 to 125 g, but brownies get a line of their own in FDA's table: 40 g, for all types of brownies.21 CFR 101.12(b)
1 brownieOne square, one servingA brownie of about 27 g up to just under 80 g is one serving. Our 9 × 13 pan cut in 24 gives 46 g squares, so the label says 1 brownie (46g).21 CFR 101.9(b)(2)(i)
3 bitesBrownie bites count upPieces of 20 g or less are labeled as the number of whole pieces closest to 40 g. Cut the same pan into 15 g bites and the serving is 3 bites (45g), 200 calories.21 CFR 101.9(b)(2)(i)(A)
1/27 panA whole pan, sold uncutAn uncut pan is labeled as the fraction closest to 40 g. Allowed fractions start at 1/2 to 1/6 and are divided further by 2 or 3. Our 38.9 oz (1,104 g) pan gives 1/27 pan (41g), closer than 1/24 pan at 46 g. Most bakers find it easier to cut and sell squares.21 CFR 101.12(b), 101.9(b)(2)(ii)
80 to 120 gBig bakery browniesA single wrapped brownie of 80 g up to 120 g needs two columns: one per 40 g serving and one for the whole brownie. Pick the Dual column format and we fill both.21 CFR 101.9(b)(12)(i)
MixBrownie mix in a jarFor a dry mix, the reference amount becomes the amount of mix needed to make 40 g of baked brownie. The panel is for the mix as packaged; the baker adds the eggs and butter.21 CFR 101.12(c) · 101.9(b)(9)
