I just bought a pack of cashews from called Cee Gee nuts and the fiber content is 12 grms for 1.75 ounces. I am a mayor fan of fiber and know that at most it has 3-4 grms. I hate to think that there are product out there getting away with being so misleading. I just don't trust lables anymore, but who can i complain to about this specific company?

I haven't tried contacting them yet, but doubt that even if i do they will change their labels even if they know i'm right.

You could try to alert the Food Safety and Inspection Service, part of the FDA.

They deal with meat, poultry and eggs, but should be able to direct you to the right department that deals with misleading labeling:

It's a start, at least.

I'd complain to the company, too. Make sure of your facts, and then send them an email. Companies will never change unless consumers make them.

And it could just be a typo-misplaced decimal point.

i was kinda freaked by the label on the cooked black soybeans by EDENS.. it said something like 9 carbs with 8 of fiber.. that would be a net of ONE per half cup,.. on my atkins cookbook chart it says something like 6 and a half net carbs per half cup.. that is a HUGE difference.. so what do i go by?? sucks..:-(

heck yeah,, you can call me PANCAKE BUTT!!! *thanks rima*
