How can some ingredients be listed in a product, when the Nutrition Facts Panel shows that the product contains 0 grams per serving?
Ingredients are listed on the product in descending order by weight. According to the Federal food-labeling guidelines, if a food contains less than 5 milligrams of sodium or fat per serving, the total value found on the Nutrition Facts Panel is rounded down to zero. And if a product contains less than 2 milligrams of cholesterol per serving, this value will be rounded down to zero.
