Lugh August 31, 2011 at 8:14 am I’m not entirely sure I see the fail. I mean, yes, twice 90 should be 180, not 190. But, that kind of gross rounding error is actually pretty darn common in those nutritional facts.
RT September 9, 2011 at 9:19 pm The FDA enforces rounding rules for Nutrition Facts. This is because reading 93 calories hurts our little brains, but 90 is nice and digestible. 50 cal – express to nearest 10 cal increment See: http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/GuidanceDocuments/FoodLabelingNutrition/FoodLabelingGuide/ucm064932.htm
