Wow, were those numbers correct?! When I plugged it into the hidden carbs inspector (on the menu bar over to the right) it came out as 19 grams of carbs! It's calculated by adding together calories from fat, protein and "declared" carbs, then subtracting that from the total calories. It assumes that what's left has to be carbs.
I think the extra carbs come from ingredients like sugar alcohols. I'm not sure what the labelling rules are, but it seems like they don't have to count anything but sugar and starch carbs. It's a "truth in advertising" issue, I guess.
Hope that helps. Most people stay away from those bars, but others do well with them occasionally. It beats a Snickers.
