[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 330348, member: 12578"] [size=7] [color=#FF4000][b][u]UK Label [/u][/b][/color][/size] ( the carb figure is the amount of carbs, fibre is labelled separately and has already deducted. The carb figure is total carbs. NB note spelling of fibre). In the EU if it something is labelled it also has to be labelled per 100g. [img]http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/PublishingImages/nutrition_panel_377.jpg[/img] [size=5][color=#FF0000][u][b]Us Label[/b].[/u][/color][/size] It includes fiber in the total carb count : carbohydrate of which fiber. You need to deduct it to be equivalent of the total carbs in the UK Note spelling fiber) In the Us things are often labelled in oz or portion sizes. The big problem is if you use US sources on the net for your calorie/carb info. [img]http://dtc.ucsf.edu/images/charts/nutrition_facts2.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
