I think that may have changed but am not sure. That resulted in differences in carb counts between the 2 countries (and  the US includes fibre in the carb count where it's been deducted on ours)Re UK:.In the UK the standard accepted data is  normally "McCance and Widdowson's The Composition of Foods but it could be tables from elsewhere.The regulations also say that"care is needed when using published values and manufacturers should satisfy themselves that values are representativeof their particular product"You can download a copy of Widdowsons for excel if you really want.  (and data bases from lot's of European countries)http://www.eurofir.net/eurofir_knowledge/european_databases The US data base is interactive and is the basis of a lot of the carb counting/calorie counting sites online.<a href="http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/" target="_blank">http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/</a></blockquote>
