Confusing packaging

[margie]

I was having Mushroom Ravioli for dinner.

According to the nutrition information
100g contains 33g carb
1/2 packet contains 64.4g
1 packet = 300g

Every item not just the carbs was scewed and how do you know what to believe?

Anyone else come across this ?

Is one of the readings uncooked and the other cooked weight?

Does it list the dry weight and the cooked weights seperately? There is a difference in how you weigh it sometimes - but if its just a maths error on their part you should contact them and let them know - this could send your levels very high if you get it wrong on the packet.😱🙂Bev

No it doesn't say that but maybe that is what it is trying to say.

it just gives typical values, and its every nutrient that appears to have the same calculation.

eg protein per 100g 8 per 1/2 pack 15.6

the total energy too is a multiple of 1.94

Rereading the label I think you are right - half a pack will always be half a pack, but weight cooked/dry will vary.
