hazlenut spread calories ( question, sorta)

Hi!

 

Long time lurker, first time poster. I actually just wanted to share a hazlenut spread, which is called Fior di nocciola... I got it at Andronico's... it's a large jar, 350 g or 12.3 oz, and it CLAIMS it's only 140 calories for the entire jar!!! Does anyone know if something was lost in translation? It's so yummy, haha, but I'm actually wondering if this is accurate. Has anyone heard anything about this? :)

 

Thanks! 

No way would that be right. What are the ingredients. It'll be 140 cal per serving

haha, shh, i ate the jar! :)

 

omg, I just read the label closely and it's mislabelled! It actually says, "serving size = 1jar" but by it, it also says, "28g"... and underneath that, it says" servings per container= 1". my guess is that they have smaller versions of the spread, and mixed up the jar. :(

 

it is all organic, so i don't feel as bad (logic is flawed i realize).

 

ingredients are raw can sugar, sunflower oil, hazelnut, cocoa powder, milk powder, vanilla.

shrug. it's still a good spread :)

yeah maybe you read it wrong? 1 serving isn't 1 jar :p

I was just going to ask how it tastes but just saw your last reply, if it has cocoa it's probably like Nutella.

OMG...do you have a sugar buzz!  LOL

imagine if one serving actually WAS 1 jar, haha.

i honestly can't imagine the guilt after eating a whole jar of peanut butter. i'd probably go mad.

I would almost bet that the nutritional information is based on 100 grams rather than the 28 g serving size. I'm going to the supermarket today and I know that there are such spreads here in Israel. I'll check it out and let you know about comparable brands.

haha you all have been so helpful :) unfortunately im just bad at reading labels :P :P my bad!! but thanks soo much everyone :)

 

and lol, i didnt eat the whole thing at one time. er, over three days HAHAH. not much better. but i think my head is still buzzing from all the sugar. man ive got to cut down. 

h thats ok. When i read you ate the whole jar, i though you were eaither starving or a bit of a piggy. I mean kids in africa are starving and people here are searching for super low cal peanut butter so they can gorge on it. I have no problem with low cal - it means you can enjoy treats a little more often, but whole jars in a sitting is a little greedy, no?

Mmmm.. Nutella is awesome. But I always measure it to make sure I'm not going over my calories.

oh man, i WISH nutella was 140cals a jar
