They call this total carbs and what you need is what they call net carbs (total carbs - fibre). Clues will be fibre spelt the USA way FIBER, the use of total or net carbs and weights in oz or even cups. If it’s a nutritional chart fiber is often indented the same way “of which sugars” is here meaning it’s included in the carb count and it’s just a subsection They also only list portion sizes and counts, without our requirement to list per 100g.To make things more confusing some of their counts but not all also deduct something called sugar alcohols or polyols. That’s sweeteners that allegedly don’t raise blood glucose, except some do and some don’t.  Unless you are sure that particular one doesn’t raise you I’d count at least half if not all of them.  Eg I’m fine with erthyritol but maltitol spikes me as much as sugar does - which are common responses.</blockquote>
