Hidden carb counter
« on: February 09, 2011, 06:25:31 PM »
I bought  a new sausage today that has 0 carbs I looked at the ingredients and they looked ok  then I put it in the hiden carb counter to show tyler how something that says 5 carbs may really be 8 carbs and to my surprise the sausage came up as 3 carbs . I thought that yall my want to save this and put some of your foods into to make sure they are really o carb .

Also my question to Doug or anyone that knows is what do i go by the hidden counter or the package ? Should we check everything that says 0 carb? Wow I am just shocked !

Jo, I didn't even know there was such a thing, but I couldn't follow your link.
I've posted the one I found - is it the same one?

What gets me is that we are trying so hard and we believe that the packages are correct - only to find out this sort of "shennanigans" going on!
Thanks for sharing, I will be using that OFTEN!

Excellent find on the carb counters, Jo!  :)
I'm awaiting to hear Doug's opinion of them.
What you do today is what matters!

Nice link Jo. Those peeps are so sneaky on the labels. They are always trying to pass something by us. Most recently I bought Vlasic pickles. They said less than one carb on the label but when I got them home the serving size was half a spear. Who eats half a spear? Crazy!

I need the label info before I can answer the question. I only spent a few moments checking out the counter.
