Dear FATMAN2,

Th eproblem is this. In the UK they already subtract the carbs when they put it on the tin. In the USA they don't. There is asticky about this on the top of the column.

Sorry but if it says 20g of carbs that's what it's got - plus 21g of fibre.

I don't think this is regulated by law in the States. It's just usual practice. Maybe they are following the Uk Model! Anyway, a sRosebud says, if it's got beans it's got carbs.

You could make your own chilli con carni using soya beans if you can find them?

PS I just looked at the UK heinz site - can't find them.
