    In Australia, we have per serving and per 100g/ml/etc both on the packaging to make it clear

      Yeah, here in Japan as well. I think really enforcing realistic serving sizes (no one is going to accurately do 0.25s) in labeling would also help the US.

        help the US

        The US people? Yes
        The US corporations? No

        Who do you think matters?

        Definitely. It’s pretty egregious that they can get away with saying 0 kcal because their serving sizes are so incredibly small.

          They aren’t just getting away with it, it’s literally required. Under FDA rules, if there are less than 5 dietary calories in a serving, the label must round down to 0, which, yes, is super misleading. Murica!
