I love This Is Broken. It has always been one of the best sites on the ‘net. Today, they had a ridiculous example of stupid food labeling…
From the site:
On a package of Flatouts, made by Flatoutbread.com, there is a statement on the package that says it contains 8 grams of fiber.
However, on the nutritional panel of the Flatouts package, it shows only 7 grams of fiber.
The serving size is 1 Flatout, so I guess I’d have to eat about a few bites of a second Flatout to get my 8 grams of fiber!
I’d have to say, that’s most definitely broken. Seriously.
