Have you read the back of a package recently? This is directly from some nuttella in the pantry:
"Energy 332KJ Daily Intake 4%"
in one point font gray on white "Per 15 gram serve."
Average adult diet of 8700KJ.
On other side of the package: 220g net.
So the actual energy in the package is 4869KJ. This is by far not the worst. I have seen chocolates where the "serving size" was two squares.
You can count on any regulation that is bad for business to be subverted to the point of uselessness.
- Felz 8y agoI have a box of microwavable popcorn I bought recently that's the best example I've ever seen of this. It reads: > Serving Size: 2 Tbsp unpopped (makes about 4.5 cups popped) > Servings Per Bag: about 2.5 > Calories (2 Tbsp unpopped): 170 > Calories (1 Cup popped): 35 How many calories per bag? The worst thing is, it fooled me. I wouldn't've bought it if I'd realized the answer was about 400.
