Aren’t the serving sizes intentionally small so they can get away with saying that stuff has less sugar?
Nutrients should always be listed in pr 100g or in percent (effectively the same).
As it is the in the EU
Its incomprehensible to me that this isn’t mandatory around the world
Smaller portion = less sugar, fat, salt, calories etc… If I remember correctly a few states have addressed making unrealistic portion sizes for the label as making misleading claims.
Tic-tacs are 94% sugar. A serving of tic-tacs is 1 tic-tac, which is just under half a gram. The FDA considers less than half a gram of sugar in a serving to be negligible and not required to be listed.
In other words, a product that is 94% sugar is legally sugar-free.
In the EU (probably in the rest of europe too) you must have a per 100 gram (you can have bullshit “portions” too if you want to, but the “per 100 gram” must be there).
How the hell do you americans compare different brands??
Tic tacs have a serving size of less than a gram so they can claim 0g of sugar.
It’s the recommended serving sizes that are out of touch with reality.
It’s not me that’s out of touch with reality, peanut butter jar.
I’m in touch with my peanut butter jar
Remember, a peanut butter jar does not have a flared base.
