    35g of fat, 27g of carbs, and 5g of protein... That adds up to more than 420cal, too.
    (35*9) + (27*4) + (5*4) = 315 + 108 + 20 = 443cal.

    For the record though, this is common across all food labels to be inaccurate to a certain extent! I think the regulations dictate that they have to be within a 50cal window.

    Does the fibre content skew the numbers?

    (35x9) + (27x4) + (5x4) - (9x4) = 407... so yes. Companies like to use net carbs (i.e. Halo Top, Quest bars, etc.)

    420 calories. Nope, rather have a homemade burger instead.
