This is the only one I've found that says Zero carbs. How does less than 1% get counted for carbs? That is not per serving I don't think, since it's in the ingredients list.

A label may say 0, but that doesn't necessarily mean 0. If a serving contains less than 0.5 grams of a particular nutrient, the label is allowed to read 0 grams per serving. But, those 0.49 grams per serving can really add up, especially when the serving size is small (as in the case of cream.) The ingredients on the Walmart brand indeed include stabilizers and thickeners. Cream should be...well...cream.
