Yup, the “serving size” nonsense is a US corporate lobbied loophole which basically allows them to put whatever they want on their nutrition information.
I wouldn’t have expected anything else from the US “Corporations are people too” of A.
EU has absurd serving size measurements too, but also 100g measurements
The 100g measurement is so good. Makes it extremely easy to compare foods and decide which one is healthier. Like if you see protein powder which is 31g sugar per 100g, and realise it’s literally 31% sugar, maybe don’t buy that one lol
US still has percentage of sugar/carbs/etc. So it’ll just say it’s 31% sugar.
OP’s picture shows % daily value though, not % total contents. Isn’t that based on a recommended adult daily intake or whatever? Never been to the US myself, so I don’t actually know though
In Canada we also have nutrition facts per serving bullshit
