    Hi buddy.
    Thanks.

    So If there is no enough details under N.facts then only we
    should fill the net weight? Right?

    IF no N.fact given but only net weight, then what todo? Return the hit or submit after giving the net wt details? leaving the serves per pack & description field blank?

    Not sure if you guys still check out this thread, but what about "Insoluble Fiber"?

    Would that go under "Other Carbohydrate"? Or just skip it and leave "Other Carbohydrate" blank until the nutrient table exactly says "Other Carbohydrate"?

    What if you get two tables for different age group?

    In this example, it's "Infants 0-1" and "Children 1-4"?

    [​IMG]

    Also, should we enter "1 tray" or "1 tray, drained" or "1 drained tray"?

    They should have given some more examples. Serving size is very confusing.

    You leave it blank. (Although, I suppose, you can calculate it by finding out the weight of each piece from the front package, if you want.)

    You might get a faster reply if you email them directly. They have always responded to my questions within 15 minutes or so.

    My guess is you do not put Insoluble Fiber under Other Carbohydrate. In the past when this has come up, I have skipped entering it in the field.

    The logo hits are very easy. They seem hard but they aren't.

    I am all for a fixed “submit” button - but not floating on top of the entry panel, please.

    Does anyone know on the Product ingredient HITs if we are supposed to include the allergy warnings at the end of the ingredient lists (i.e. Contains tree nuts or soy or milk)? I haven't been including them and wonder if I should just to be safe. Hopefully the HITs I've already submitted won't be rejected...

    I'm kind of afraid of wading too deeply into these (the ingredients hits) for multiple reasons. So many of the photographs are blurry, and when they're not, occasionally there are typos on the ingredients list. If I copy the list typos and all, will the requester assume the errors are mine rather than the manufacturer's? Do we include the allergy warnings, like "includes milk" when milk is already on the list?

    And then there are the ones with characters not on my keyboard, like a cross symbol, not a plus sign, but a cross, such as Christ was nailed to. What do we do with those?

    I find myself spending so much time sorting through these to find ones I'm sure I can read correctly that they take too much time for the pay.

    For the interested reader:

    Search engines are really good for doing conversions. For instance: Enter '1000 mcg convert mg' into Bing and it will return:

    1000 micrograms = 1 milligram

    In case you need to know for the odd vitamin supplement.

    As a general rule, Americans are not that knowledgeable on the metric system and this could help some of you.

    Since they don't want us entering any measurements that aren't already on the pack, I don't see how this is necessary.

    Since I saw items last night where the vitamins were listed on the label in mcgs and he specifically asks for mgs, I see how it can be necessary. ;)

    On the list ingredient ones, there are just way too many ingredients on some. I wonder if there would be a way to maybe make a list of them and we check them off from that list instead of typing them in. Don't know if that would be possible but it would be much easier.
