as always.. thanks

The key to finding out if the manufacturer had subtracted the fiber or not, is by seeing if the calories add up. Our database contain the USDA analytical data, containing carbs by difference (which usually includes fiber).
If you think an item should have less carbs declared, you can enter a custom value in the PECC field. Thsi is generally the case with diet products, as they subtract fiber, sugar alcohol, glycerine and things like that.
