Food package has two nutrition labels

NavajoGirl85

I went to a whole foods store and bought a pack of strawberry crackers. The nutrition on it looked decent so I bought them. Tonight I was looking at the package and noticed that they stuck a nutrition label in top of the original nutrition label. I had two bags so I took off the extra label to one to compare the bags. All the nutrition to both bags are different from ine another. Like one says 200 calories for the one bag and the other says 110 calories for each serving and stated that there are 2 servings in the bag. One said 20 carbs the other said 39. Has anyone else seen this before?

I mean if you double the 110 calories (because it states each bag is two servings ) that leaves you at 220 Cal's and 40 carbs , pretty close to even given the variance that can occur in packaged stuff. I'd log the higher one personally just in case

I wonder if the label on top was the new label the FDA is requiring? Did it list out added sugars separately?

I'm assuming both packages were the same brand?

The difference in calories & carbs could easily be a rounding issue.
