Granola nutrition label understates %DV of protein

Details

Created on 04, January, 2023

The Nutrition Facts panel for a major-label granola shows protein at “3 grams, 3% Daily Value...”

The daily value (DV) for protein (for anyone 4 years and up) is 50 grams, so 3 grams would be 6% of the Daily Value, not 3%. Oops... another example of a product’s Nutrition Facts showing “good” nutrients lower than actual (in terms of the %DV in this case). The product also shows the %DV for potassium at half what it should be.
