On the other hand, it is a case of "buyer beware" though really if you are trying to monitor what you eat. I typically only ever have "whole foods" so the pre-packaging of foods doesn't typically fuss me.
It is a pity that the "fact file" provided with the article lists out high carb foods only. Do pre-packaged low carb foods have "extra portions" as well?

As the FDA concentrates on making sure that consumers are not 'shorted' in their purchase, I would bet most manufactures err on the high side to keep out of trouble. Similar to the bakers' dozen concept. |
