The servings per container is based on the serving size and total amount of product in a package or container. For example, if the serving size is 2 oz. and the total amount in the container is 16 oz., then the servings per container would be 8 (there are eight 2 oz. servings in this package or container). In some instances, the product is not a fixed weight (such as a ham) and the total weight can vary slightly from one package to another in which case the servings per container will say "Varied".
