Why is there a big difference between the Cal & Carb contact listed in COMPLETE FOOD COUNTER (4th edition) and what is listed on the lable? Vegetable juice, salsa, Delmonte grapefruit and many more have a vast difference between your book and the lable.
Hi Steve,
Foods are reformulated all the time that is why we revise the books regularly. Usually there is not a vast difference because the foods themselves do not change drastically. In the case of generic foods that are listed, they are an average so that the counts provided would be the best estimate for any brand that may be purchased or perhaps a food that is made at home.
