Nutrition Facts don't add up..

julies90 · April 2014

I bought some Joe's Plantain chips. Nutrition label says serving size is 40 grams, 100 calories. The macro break down says there is 20 grams of carbs and 12 grams of fat in the serving.... (1 gram of carb has 4 calories, 1 gram of fat has 9, right?)
Am I missing something? Is the calorie label just totally off?

These?

No, these. Very confusing. Joes and Trader Joes aren't the same company.

Picture of nutrition label.
I'm so annoyed!! I feel like I spent way more calories on these than I wanted to. I'm pretty sure the nutrition label is totally off.

Yeah, that label looks wrong. Very wrong. Like half of what the calories should be based on similar products.

This one looks much more accurate than the one on the package: http://www.fatsecret.com/Diary.aspx?pa=fjrd&rid=2288207

Can't find an official site for them at all. Unless they're a favorite, I'd avoid them in the future. I haven't been back to Cane's because they haven't managed to get their nutritional information up yet. A year ago they said they were working on it. Still waiting.
