HI all,

so this just got me as a surprising source of unexpected carbs. I eat Moon Cheese quite a bit. Starbucks is carrying this package of moon cheese now:

Lists 18g serving size, 3g carbs. 9 carbs per bag. This is different than this bag:

this bag lists 12g serving size, 4.5 carbs per bag.

Not sure if it’s a calculation error, or they had to round up to 3 when they added the 6g to the serving size or what, but I was surprised it was giving me 2x the carbs. Next time, I’ll reach for the other flavors, as they’re supposedly 0g. But who’s to be believed anymore :frowning:

I wonder if it’s because different percentage of fat in the two cheddar products.

I found more of these “Moon Cheese” at my local Co-Op grocery store today, but at $6CAD per pack, they’re remaining strictly an occasional treat.

I just found these today at the local starbucks… are they pretty good for keto? It sure seems like it based on the nutrition label… they’re kind of incredible haha. i’m not eating a whole bag, maybe 1/4 of the bag if that.
