Thanks for reaching out.
We publish the locally most commonly used serving amounts and/or what the manufacturer provides - that said, all generic foods (and drinks) will have multiple serving size options.
For branded foods, the metric serving equivalent (e.g. in ml) is provided as part of the serving description and can hence be provided to derive a metric serving amount equivalent.
