The nutritional values can be presented in four ways:
 +
* per weight serving (usually 14g);
 +
* per volumetric serving (usually 1 tablespoon, i.e. 15ml);
 +
* per 100 ml
 +
* per 100 g
 +
This implies that we cannot easily compare the values.

OFF applies a conversion from serving to 100ml/mg by simple scaling. Thus to go from 15ml to 100ml, just multiply by 6.67.
