Please someone explain the Australian & New Zealand nutritional labels 
. I am far enough along in my Keto journey to stay away from most processed foods but sometimes you want to try new products. I was totally hanging for a pizza so I tried a Base I had in the cupboard from the Protien bread company. I use Cronometer and noticed the carb count on the Protien Bread Company Pizza Base carbs where way out on in Cronometer compared to on the packet. So I questions it with Cronometer and they proceed to tell me that in Australia & New Zealand the carbs stated are net carbs and they have already subtracted the fibre from the total carbsā¦ what the actual Hell?? So my questions isā¦ why can the take it apon themselves to do this? And what about ALL the products we have here that they donāt even put Dietary fibre on the label so I canāt even add the carbs and fibre together to get my total carbs. Take Pete Evens Bolognaise Sauceā¦ clean ingredients but has no fibre stated on the label and only 3. Something carbs per serveā¦ which canāt be accurate because of all the tomato?? Please explain to me if I have this total wrong, I really hope soā¦ who are these people that get to decide what carbs I want to count and be aware of? Should all nutritional values be on packagingā¦ especially fibre! Help 
I feel like I just found out the tooth fairy is not real! Net carbs Australia?!?
This is why we should stick to whole foods and avoid processed ones. There are no surprises when you make a meal from start to finish.
Nutrition labels lie to make their products more attractive. I trust cronometer much more than I do any products that are made by a company that ends in incā¦
No the tooth fairy may not be real but if you truly believe in keto, the fat fairy will pay regular visits and barter good health for your fat.
Thanks Carl, I do make 99% of my food by scratch 
, that was not my question. My question is, why are Australian and New Zealand labels allowed to withhold information and change the actual correct carbs because they think they know best. Just getting clarification that I am understanding the labels correctly 
. If I am buying a good that has clean ingredients then I want to know the correct nutritional values of what I am eating.
Sorry, what information do they āwithholdā? The net carbs are there, the fibre is there.
And - massive improvement over the US labels - the amounts per 100g is there, so companies canāt make up idiotically small āserving sizesā in order to get ingredients to a low enough level so they can legally say itās zero.
Yes like sausages that say 2 carbs per serving and you look at the serving size and it says 1\2 link! Seriously who eats half of a brat! A little kid maybeš. Or 12 oz can of soda that has a serving size of 4 oz! Who opens a can of soda and drinks 1/3 of it. Sneaky bastards!
Yes! In America: 1 g carb per serving. Number of servings per can: 4,150. Serving size: 1/64th of a teaspoon.
A lot of our labels donāt have fibre even on the label in Australia. Iām just trying to understand how it works. If they subtract the fibre from the carbs behind the scenes and only put net carbs on the label then donāt state what the fibre was then how do we know total carbs 
. I just donāt get why the canāt put the total carbs and the fibre content and leave.
Do you have any examples (i.e. photos)? I never recall having seen that (for items Iād expect to have fibre in them).
If an item doesnāt list the fibre itās probably pretty safe to assume that it has little to none. Health haloes being what they are, the manufacturer would be shouting it from the rooftops.
You are complaining that our labels withhold information when in reality itās the american labels that suck
HAHA, quite the contrary, iām not as helpful as much as I am here to provide comedic relief 
. And just to confirm no I donāt eat pretzels on a keto diet just an example
Depends how processed they are, I guess. Itās one of the big issues with highly refined flour, the lack of fibre.
Itās just not making sense ā¦ if these crackers done have fibre in them then Iāll eat my hat lol ā¦ Iāve down loaded the Australian label Guidelines to understand it better.
Ok Iām sure they do have some. Look, you know how many āusable carbsā there are & if you eat packaged food you gotta take what they tell you as truth I guess.
Thanks but my question is not about what useable carbs are in a product. Iām trying to understand the label guidelines in Australia. If there is carbs in a product then one would think they should be stated on the label. I donāt use net carbs and I hardly ever eat packaged food but when I do I should be able to see what I am consuming
