[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 979848, member: 12578"] They don't have to put nutritional information on foods unless they make a health claim or it contains added vitamins or minerals. They will have to put labels on by Dec. 2016. [URL]https://www.gov.uk/guidance/food-labelling-giving-food-information-to-consumers[/URL] ( I don't know if confectionary actually counts as food though) There won't be much carbohydrate in 100% chocolate but all the bars I can find have some. I suspect the sales assistant didn't really know and she was referring to added sugar. Having said that I like Hotel Chocolat's official approach to selling chocolate to people with diabetes much better than those that sell do called diabetic chocolate "If you are looking for a box of chocolates with 'diabetic chocolates' written on the lid, you won't find it here!......" then sensible info such as portion size (30g),the type of chocolate to choose, to include carb count as part of a meal,to eat it. as part of a meal, not to eat it if glucose levels are high etc [URL]http://www.hotelchocolat.com/uk/help/dietary-information[/URL] [/QUOTE]
