The database we use is USDA-SR17, with many of the items have the fiber pre-subtracted.
The tool calculates the calories, and checks if the fiber has been subtracted, If not, it will display the ECC as carbs-fiber. If it's already subtracted, the ECC = fiber.
This is the case for most food labels now days, where the fiber is already subtracted. If you re-subtract the fiber (which is already subtracted), you end up with hidden carbs
