Comment on This Avocado Oil that claims to be “0 Calories” 🙄
Briguy@lemmy.world 1 day agoThe FDA lets anything under 5 calories to be rounded down to 0. It’s a scam

To be fair, caloric measurement is always an approximation. No two servings will ever have the exact same number of calories. Even if they did, different gut biomes will also feed on those macronutrients to different extents. Couple that with everyone having different metabolic rates, and 2 calories is indistinguishable from a rounding error.
And the guidance from the FDA reinforces this. The reason this panel shows 0 instead of 2 is not because anyone screwed up or is trying to mislead; it’s because any serving that provides less than 5 calories is supposed to be rounded to 0 per FDA regulation.

WTF, that’s dumb. Like, sure, if you say “no decimal calories needed” it would make sense at the time, and could lead to this by accident. But that’s silly.
