Obviously; we already agreed on that from the start. All that remains is the (IMHO very minor) disagreement whether the information should be listed "per capsule", "per n capsules", or "per n weight unit(s)", or "per box". It seems to me that "per capsule" is by far the easiest for consumers as that's the easiest, but it's really a minor detail.
- lunaticlabs 3y agoAs an American who know lives in Europe, where nutrition facts are labeled per 100g, I disagree. It is far easier for me to compare products and their nutritional value when there's a standardized size (and prices also have to be listed per 100g, so I can compare!). I now find US nutritional (and price) guidelines entirely useless. I just wanted to pass on my own experience, as someone who used to think that it was reasonably done, but sometimes you don't know what you are missing until you experience the alternative.
