    Wait. Are you telling me that the US actually has a better standard for Nutritional Facts than other first world countries?

    And somehow we’re STILL the fattest nation in the world?

      The standard US “Nutrition Facts” label is very limited and typically doesn’t include much information on micro nutrients. I don’t know how it compares to other regions, but it certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

        Yeah it would be nice to have mandatory micronutrient labeling. Some labels have them, others don’t. I think it might be up to the producer to decide which micronutrients they can list.

      Nah, the US has “per serving” on the label instead of “per 100 gr.”. And since “per serving” is mostly an arbitrarily term (the legislation which defines it basically admits so much even), it means food producers can grossly mislead consumers about the contents of their food.
