1 serving is listed as 1 cup (31 g) but when I measure 1 cup it weighs closer to 50 g consistently. Any explanation on this or advice on which one is correct?

    That's often true of solids when they're measured in cup form. The rule should be always weigh solids, use cup measures for liquids. As it seems you have a scale, you're good to go. Weigh out 31g and that's one serving.

    This is why weighing is important. Once it is in the box getting shipped around the cereal settles. At the factory it may have been 1 cup = 31g but once it was thrown around a bit 1 cup really = 50g.

    Thanks for the input everyone. Not what I wanted to hear because I really wanted 50 g from the 110 calories but inevitably the truth is always the best :blush:

    As someone who has and does shop in Aldi in both the UK and Germany.... Weigh everything they sell, more often than not its at least a little bit off!
