Thank you for your email. We contacted Lindt France, where the Excellence bars are made and they have confirmed that our nutritional values are indeed correct. We have notified the USA of your findings. We calculated the calories again with the grams of fat, carbohydrates and protein and we are indeed correct. Since 1g of fat is equal to 9 calories, 1g of carbs is 1 calories and 1g of protein is 1 calorie, we take 25g of fat x 9 calories, 4g of carbs x 4 calories, and 7g of protein x 4 calories equals 269 calories.

They attached a spreadsheet that lists the FULL nutritional breakdown ... but I can't attach an .xls (Which seems strange) to this message .. so I PDF'd it and attached it.
Here is the P.L.A.N. Custom Food entry, updated with the information.
So I guess there is 4g of Carbs per 50g bar which does NOT include .85g Sugar and 3g Dietary Fibre.
Still - its definitely low carb, but perhaps not induction-low carbs.
Everything on the Canadian label matches their official breakdown except the Sodium. Their official breakdown says per 50g bar there is 20mg of Sodium, yet on the label it says 150mg. |
