Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. Ingredients are obtained from a home-cooking recipe in Sweetest Menu (2020). A mass balance is carrried out assuming that the final product has 73% dry mass (Open Food Facts 2020ah), which is much higher than that in ingredients. It is estimated that per kg final product (including 3% waste rate), 1.47 kg ingredients are needed and 0.44 kg water are evaporated. Manufacturing energy assumed as average for cakes from Konstantas et al. (2018). Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Ambient.

Data on inputs and outputs of the food processing industry is modelled using: Open Food facts (2020ah);Sweetest Menu (2020); Konstantas et al. (2019).
