    European here. Sorry, but it is so ridiculous that labels don’t just show some standardized “per 100 g” so things are easily compared without math.

      Yeah same opinion here, guess they cant make it easy for people to know what they put in their bodies or they might start caring right?

      Imagine how we feel in the US being given numbers interchangeably in ounces and pounds. Nothing like dividing random numbers by 16 in your head in the store. Grams would be so much easier for this purpose.

      I keep a spreadsheet with that information.

      Here are the macros for nutella, per 100 g:

      • 540 kcal
      • ~30 g fat
      • ~60 g carbs
      • 5.4 g protein
      • 2.7 g fiber

      the problem with per 100 g is that some foods are eaten in much smaller quantities, so the “per serving” (if a serving size is accurate) is actually more helpful for knowing how reasonable it is to eat.

      I would just like the per 100 g nutrition information in addition to the per serving information.
