Aren't the serving sizes intentionally small so they can get away with saying that stuff has less sugar?
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 have a serving size of less than a gram so they can claim 0g of sugar.
Only in America. Always thought that was a weird law.
Nutrients should always be listed in pr 100g or in percent (effectively the same).
As it is the in the EU
They are almost always 1 oz (28g).
But, individually packaged stuff does tend to pull bullshit like “1 serving=half a bottle of soda”
Peanut butter is probably going to be fine though
I saw a wrapped item that did the opposite, which was weird. It was a pack of 3 pieces and a serving was 4.
Probably to hit some magic number:
What is this, lettuce?!
Depends on the quantity of parasites on the lettuce
As someone who, if anything, wants to gain weight, this has the inverse effect for me. Peanut butter is great because it's so dense with calories. (I try to avoid sugar though, but I don't think peanut butter has much added sugar, but I'll have to check next time I have some.)
I know I'm in the minority though. I'm a 6ft tall man who weighs ~125-130lb. I was stuck at 120 for a decade or more, and only recently have put on a couple more pounds. I don't have an eating disorder or anything, but I just struggle to put on weight, so my serving sizes personally for peanut butter are way higher than average.
Yeah well fuck you
Wtf peanut butter you get into that's got sugar?
Looked into it, could not find a peanut butter jar whose nutritional facts did not have sugar. Most common amount was 3g per serving.
Serving size was 2 tablespoons, or 32 grams. That doesn't actually sound that unreasonalsble for a pb&j to me.
Any excuse to put corn into everything. Otherwise US farmers might have to go back to growing diverse crops instead the environmentally destructive monocrops. Won't you think think of the investors?
Monocropping is destructive, corn is fine.
Corn is a monoculture
