Sorry about the DM link. I never thought I'd read it so much: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... worst.htmlIt should be fixed soon, but what a daft system: being legally obliged to display inaccurate figures. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

The problem is that it suits the food industry to under report the actual calories. Though this is minor compared to the meat fraud.

Interestingly it might actually mean that to cut calories they might actually make the food with less fibre. That will not be good overall. We need fibre in our diet.

They should make the cardboard box edible then.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter. "Let my windows be open to receive new ideas but let me also be strong enough not to be blown away by them." - Mahatma Gandhi.

In the case of Kellogg's All Bran, the box and contents are interchangeable.

But they failed to add nutrition information for the box. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21
