| Confusing food label
A non-diabetic work colleague has just come to me for me to have a look at food label which he was finding confusing, but it has me confused too.
It's for a product called Knorr Quick Lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese. Which is a "pot" style product that add boiling water to.
What is confusing us is that the pot is clearly labeled as being 83g, yet when we look the food label that for example Carbs per 100g (prepared) is 16.5g, but per pack it is 48.1g, bearing in mind the pack is 83g, and yet it is showing higher numbers than per 100g. We are guessing that when the say prepared it means that when you add water, the 83g pack becomes 100g, but where do the carbs (and others) go if that's the case, surely if the pack has 48.1 carbs and you add water, there are still 48.1g carbs but some suspended in the water?
