Hi Alex,

Don't subtract fibre on Australian or European foods as it is calculated separately.

You are right that most "ose" ending words are sugars and therefore have carbs. The only exception I can think of off hand is "sucralose" which is the technical name for Splenda. Since it is made from cane sugar (sucrose) it still has the "ose" ending, but it has been chemically altered (chlorinated) so the body does not recognise it as a sugar (or any sort of carbohydrate), so the label may be correct.
