Co-op red split lentils??

Their nutrition values state 3.3g carbs per 100g lentils - the other brand I normally use (laila) reckons 50g per 100g..
Unless Co-op have sourced some kind of magical low carb lentils, I'm hoping it's mislabelled? I've just taken the same amount of insulin as I usually do for lentil soup, and only actually looked at the packet when I was tidying stuff back into the cupboard...

Maybe contact the Co- Op customer services and question it, https://www.coop.co.uk/contact-us?_ga=2.95141276.1897866457.1685956096-124992505.1681737875&_gl=1*x75l2s*_ga*MTM4NTAxODE1Ny4xNzQ5MTMzNzk4*_ga_H57SCNJXEN*czE3NDkxMzM3OTckbzEkZzEkdDE3NDkxMzM4MDUkajYwJGwwJGgw*_ga_DM72RBJ4E7*czE3NDkxMzM3OTckbzEkZzAkdDE3NDkxMzM4MDUkajYwJGwwJGgxODg1MTQ4Nzgy*_gcl_au*MTc1MDA2ODA5Mi4xNzQ5MTMzODA1 that doesn’t look at all correct to me, even if it was the cooked weight at 100g, which it clearly isn’t as it would have to say that, then it would still be around 20g carb

by law back of packaging has to have the correct information for carbohydrates among others

https://www.nutrition.org.uk/creati...tary but,also known - traffic light labelling!
 
Good idea - thanks! Have given them a ring and they're passing the info on to their labelling department.

It's hard enough doing the carb counting thing without the info being wrong! Don't want to think what my BG would be at the moment if I'd gone with their figures.
