      Yeah, it should be illegal to list serving sizes that disconnected from reality. They should be MANDATED to have the first column list the nutrition information for the container as a whole, and then let them put whatever ridiculous lie, but it should only be allowed in a second column, that I can ignore after seeing the first column that shows what the container actually contains.

        I don’t know how they do it elsewhere, but here in New Zealand, they put “per 100g” measurements on the labels which are really helpful.

          Same in the EU. I believe 100g or 100ml is mandated, but then they can add a “per serving” table as well.

    Given that the most typical use is spreading it on a slice of bread, I’ll argue, no I’m not out of touch, everyone else is. When the “serving size” can’t fill the expected use case, it’s not the consumer that’s wrong
