labellings of food items for big companies are always gonna be off/incorrect/bullshit anyway. They pay good money to have other companies lie for them about what is on the label.

citation: worked briefly for a company that analyzed samples from companies batches of products to determine nutritional content. I was the fiber guy! what a title. Anyway, with big companies like Kraft, we could run their samples, get certain results, and if the data weren't within the specifications already established by the company, we would have to run the test again. Sometimes up to 10+ times. I gotta tell ya, redoing something over and over again till it fits the results you want doesn't sound like sound science or data analysis

ie: if the company analyzing the nutritional content of big companies doesn't match what they want to put on the label, they won't accept the results from the analysis until it fits what they want.
