New Nutrition Labels

I think that stats per 100g would be a useful addition. It would prevent zero calorie claims (100g of oil spray would have calories), and help consumers compare like foods, even if the packaging contains many servings, or the manufacturers have different serving sizes. It also allows the consumer to figure out percentages (eg - product has 3.4g protein per 100g = 3.4% protein). This can be hard to do from serving size stats alone if you don't have a calculator with you.

It's something that I find interesting when I eat foods with an American label here. It's so hard to compare between foods as the serving sizes aren't properly consistent, and there's no per 100g for me to compare the item to other like items.
