What does "Carbohydrate, by difference" mean?

Hi everyone,

I treated myuself to some brazil nuts today and before eating them I looked them up.

It said " Carbohydrate, by difference 12.8g" (per 100g)
and Fiber, "total dietary 5.4g"

This was on an American site by the way.

Now does this mean I can take the fibre away from the carbs or not? Does the "by diffrerence" mean they've already done the sum as we do in England?

I would appreciate enlightenment

Robert
