I seem to have found the miracle food for people doing a Keto diet, but I have a hard time believing this is legitimate...

By 0 grams, I mean net (total carbs - dietary fibre).

    Well, I just answered my own question by calling the company...

    Turns out it was a labelling error. The dry mix is 32g of total carbs, with 2g of carbs.

    The other weird thing is that it's 11% of your daily carbs before it's prepared and 4% when you add crap to the mix to make it? Highly unlikely.

    Easy - it isn't.

    Hell - look at the first ingredient: organic cane sugar. Then, look at the listing for sugars: 0. This is obviously incorrect.

    That, and if you add up the macros individually and multiply by 9 for fat grams and 4 for carbs/protein grams, they don't add up to the total number of calories listed. It's clearly an error.

    Wouldn't trust it.

    Is that law(s) the same in Canada, where this was manufactured?

    Don't know the answer to that, but to be sold in the US it is required to be listed that way no matter where it's manufactured... and this product is available in the US according to google.
