But they also list servings per package. As someone who relies on this information out of medical necessity I've never felt it to be that confusing.
The EU/UK, on the other hand, makes it incredibly difficult by listing things in units of 100g. Nothing like sitting in a dark movie theater trying to calculate fractions.

- TillE 10y agoThe 100g listing is mandatory, but many products will have an extra column for portions where it makes sense. If they don't, you might need to pull out a calculator to figure out how much sugar is in x bits of chocolate, but it makes comparing different products much simpler.
- jobigoud 10y agoI often find it more convenient actually because often you don't eat "one serving". Consider breakfast cereals, rice or pastas. Having the per 100g values allows you to actually compare one item to the next. When I'm the US I find myself trying to convert back the per serving to per 100g to get back to known territory.
- anarazel 10y agoThis. Not even primarily due to health/nutritional concerns. A lot of the cereals in the US are way to sweet for my taste. Haven't found a better way to figure out which isn't other than comparing contained sugar.
- yrro 10y agoIME foods will state values per 100g as well as values per typical serving.
