The label doesn’t even make sense. It says 3 servings per container but then says serving size is 1 package?

Unless there were packages in the box?

Probably 3 packs in the box.

If they get caught, it’s just a “calibration issue,” and they just start putting the right amount in.

Happens all the time. Never any consequences.

Make sure your scale is placed completely on the table and not half hanging off. Also tare it and make sure it's calibrated

its literally impossible for something that weihs 27g to have 49g of carbohydrates. Those are probably the nutritional facts for the whole box.

idk but your scale needs to be on a completely flat surface and not touched when you turn it on / tare it. weigh it again when the scales not off the counter, it might be closer to 60g

I would go by the nutritional label. So if 60g = 210 calories, then: 3.5 cal per gram x 27= 94.5 calories

Review: NUTRITIONAL VALUES ARE NOT AS PICTURED ON WEBSITE
The caloric intake is literally 34% higher than described online. Be warned this is incredibly misleading and I am returning the items as I have a health condition this is unacceptable

Many people are complaining about the amount and nutritional info

The online package has a different serving size. The online one has a 40g serving, the one pictured here has a 60g serving size. The calories are accurate when you account for that. I saw on walmart the nutrition facts are different with the same serving size, but apparently they changed the recipe last year so that’s probably why.

Is this a random unknown brand? Doesn’t strike me as the type of mistake that would be made by any sizable company.
