[QUOTE="db89, post: 1964947, member: 374526"] Asda are particularly bad at this - most of their values are cooked weight whatever the item is. You can do some fiddly maths with the traffic light labels and the 'per 100g' figures on the back to work out what the recommended portion weighs but that usually needs further math depending on if you're having a full portion or not. They seem to have finally rectified it but their chilled oven cook range used to list a higher sugar than carb value on the back of the packs. Tesco list rice by dried weight but pasta by cooked weight just to be awkward too. It's a minefield out there. [/QUOTE]
