  The downside there is that if it’s, like, Marmite, you’ll never ever eat 100g in one sitting. So, you have to do a bunch of math to figure out how much salt is in the actual smear you’re using.

    We do have both on packages, per 100g and per serving, but we don’t have anything wich is a nanogram per serving containing a couple billion servings in a bottle unless it’s anti matter

    Its at least more accurate than the maths of trying to multiply by the purported zero on a can of avocado oil.

      Yes. They should require a certain number of significant digits, ass opposed to just the nearest integer. Although someone’s saying that they actually let you round down from as many as 5 to 0, which is insane if true.

        Iirc they let you say something has 0 grams of trans fat if it’s less than 5 grams per serving.

      Canada, at least, follows the US convention on this one. IIRC serving sizes are set by the government, though, if that’s different.
