Definitely no sauce, its pure frozen veggies, maybe it is more corn? But I'm finding it in all Irish food, more carbs and I cannot subtract the fibre, which almost seems like I should... perhaps I just need to stop counting carbs as they are much higher on foods here and stressing me out. Ireland is one of the countries…

Yes but that is on the Irish packet, in the eu they already show the net carb, which is 9, you cannot take the fibre off.

Hello lemurcat12, yes the Irish one is Four Seasons Mixed Vegetables Peas, Carrots & Sweetcorn (bought from aldi) and the south African one is Frozen Whole Green Peas, Carrots & Sweetcorn Kernels (bought from woolworths)

ps. exact same vegetables. The irish pack however has more calories per 100g than the SA ones, not sure why

Thanks guys ,I'm not eating more calories, as I've always tracked them. The difference in net carbs is not 0.1 though, on the irish food its 9g of carbs which is the total, as they say in the EU you cant subtract the fibre, in SA our labels work like the US where you do subtract so the net carbs is 2.1, quite a difference…

Thanks TeaBea, this isnt actually by using the MFP values, this is by looking at the actual packets of food themselves and comparing them. that's why I'm so confused as to why Ireland would have so many carbs in vegetables, compared to SA. And frozen veg should not have anything added?
