reference, except that if the baked unit weighs 454 grams (1 pound) or
more, one entire unit is used for the determination; if the baked unit
weighs less than 454 grams, enough units to weigh 454 grams or more are
used. Copies of the material incorporated by reference may be obtained
from the AOAC INTERNATIONAL, 481 North Frederick Ave., suite 500,
