A descrip- tion of the food or foods included is provided. For most codes, weights are given for units in which foods will be reported most frequently. The food quantities and weights or estimated weights reported by the respondent and entered on the schedule are preferable to those in the manual and should be used whenever possible. If the respondent has not reported weights but has given a description of size, brand name, or some unit of measurement, accurate weights might be obtained from local markets in the interviewing area. Only if a weight cannot be obtained, or if a respondent's estimate is obviously unreasonable, should the weights in this manual be assigned. All weights in the manual are shown in pounds, or decimal parts of a pound, avoirdupois. Bottle or can weights on labels for juices and other liquids are usually given in fluid ounces. Pound avoirdupois weights for common size containers of these foods, as well as weights for one fluid ounce, are given in the manual. For some foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, average weights for "small," "medium" and "large" are shown. If the respondent has given no indication of size, "medium" weights may be used~ Weights are shown for the most common sizes of containers. Other sizes may be available in some areas. In a few instances, a food may be reported for which there is no applicable food code. Notify your supervisor and provide her with a full description of the item. When new foods are reported, USDA will develop a new food code and weights for the product, when necessary. 3 A table for converting ounces (avoirdupois) to decimal parts of a pound follows: ~" CONVERSION OF OUNCES TO DECIMAL PARTS OF A POUND Ounces Fractions of an ounce 0 1/4 or 1/3 or 1/2 or 2/3 or 3/4 or .25 .33 .50 .67 .75 Lb.
