Momma Chops some of these guys try to trick you . YOu can not have a negative carb
 The net carb on that serving is 5 carbs  it was originnally 17 carbs take the 12 fibers away and you have 5 net carbs . . Anytime the fiber is higher then the carbs means that the fiber has already been subtracted .  Have a good day !!!!

Hi Mommachops!  I think several of us got stumped by those Ole Extreme Wellness tortillas. lol  I remember being so excited thinking they had "negative carbs"!  ha ha.... NOT.   I still buy them sometimes, but I only eat them when I have 5 carbs to spare.  Their nutrition label is tricky.  :(

Definitely an Ole Wellness label. The manufacturer should change how they report carbs. Mommachops, each of your tortillas is 5 net carbs.

I have some Miss Meringue cookies that are listed as -1 carbs. Companies sure like to be confusing.
