Default Humous (or Humus, depending how u spell it)

Living in England sucks for ECC counts....

Loads of food labels have fibre pre-subtracted from carbs but some don't. Normally you can spot thm easily because the sugar plus the fibre usually equals more than the total carbs, therefore it must be pre-subtracted.

However...

Sometimes the sugar plus fibre doesn't equal more than the carbs and then i'm not sure what to do.

I looked at this label for some Humous and i'm not sure what the ECC is.

Can a kindly veteran label-reader take a look (below) and tell me the ECC (bear in mind that here in the UK a lot of labels are pre-subtracted)
