I noticed, while eating my cereal that the portion size in the Nutrition facts box was 1 1/2 cups, but then my kid’s cereal had a portion size of 3/4 cup. When I looked at another, it was 1 cup. Why is this? There must be guidelines for this, but I don’t know why or what they are. Is it more of an advertising thing so that it will make the nutrition facts look more appealing?

DK asked:


I went to a Korean supermarket and one product claimed that 2g of protein is 84% of your DV while another product claimed to have 10 calories… while it also said it had 39g of carbs.
As there are 4 calories per gram of carbs, this is impossible.

So I was wondering… is any food agency doing anything to protect consumers from inaccurate nutrition facts of foreign foods or am I doomed to mistrust all Asian products for the rest of my life?
