Sorry about the DM link. I never thought I'd read it so much: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... worst.html

It should be fixed soon, but what a daft system: being legally obliged to display inaccurate figures.

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

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