Yeah, it's rounding. Under a certain amount, it just rounds to zero. No one is actually using the recommended serving size. There should be legal requirements to always provide the information for the full amount in the package/container/bottle/whatever as well next to the other values (some countries at least sometimes do this).

In Australia, we have per serving and per 100g/ml/etc both on the packaging to make it clear

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 18 points 3 days ago

EU as well. (the 100gr. is mandatory).

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Yeah, here in Japan as well. I think really enforcing realistic serving sizes (no one is going to accurately do 0.25s) in labeling would also help the US.

help the US

The US people? Yes
The US corporations? No

Who do you think matters?

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I meant help people in the US get accurate information on what they're consuming.

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I hope that for them, they deserve that just like everybody else. But I dont have high hopes for them tbh.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Definitely. It’s pretty egregious that they can get away with saying 0 kcal because their serving sizes are so incredibly small.

[–] EpeeGnome@feddit.online 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

They aren't just getting away with it, it's literally required. Under FDA rules, if there are less than 5 dietary calories in a serving, the label must round down to 0, which, yes, is super misleading. Murica!

Since it's a spray, I assume that 0.25s is just a single pump of the spray head

[–] logi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Fun thing is, though, that 0.25g of oil is 2.2kcal and not 0.

[–] breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Then why not round the serving size?

The label is true for a serving size of zero. At 0.25g, it's 0.25g of fat and 2.2 calories. The fat content is the exact same as the serving size and the calories should not round to zero. You literally can't use the label to figure out any of the numbers if you use different amounts. It's no different than not having a label at all.

Would it be so hard to just write it in milligrams por whatever,?
