Divided Serving
Posted on Thursday, April 8th, 2010 at 1:20 pmHow do companies determine what a "serving" is?
Okay so how do they do it? I've seen food and drink items that I would consider a serving and quickly glancing at the labels thought it was a good choice calorie wise; only to find out later that it was two or three servings.
Do companies divide the contents up (and therefore dividing the calories up) to appear healthier? There are no set rules on what a serving should be, so everybody does it differently. If somethings in a single use package, why not just count that as a serving?
I think they try to make their product look better by what they call a serving. For instance, if it is something that has a lot of sugar or fat, they say a serving is a small amount so it looks like the fat or sugar content is low.
Lots of people don't look at serving size, just how much fat, etc. So, they may look at chips that say 2 g fat, but forget to look at the serving size, which is 1 chip!
Companies are always trying to trick or lie to you to make their product look better!!
