Drained Weight
Category: Food Trade
Definition (plain English)
The weight of solid food after liquid, brine, syrup, oil, or glaze is drained under a defined method.
Why it matters commercially
Drained weight affects price comparison, label compliance, customer acceptance, and whether buyers are paying for usable product or packing medium.
Example
A canned vegetable quote looked cheaper until the buyer compared drained weight and found one supplier packed more brine and less sellable product.
Common mistake
Comparing cases by gross or nominal weight without checking drained weight, method, tolerance, and label requirements.
