UK and Japanese tables measure available carbohydrate; we show total carbohydrate as on US labels (UK: plus fibre). Japan's fibre method also counts resistant starch, so raw starchy foods read higher. A dash: not measured by that table.

How we label fat
Our own scale, stricter than official labels: a food with less than 10% of its calories from fat is labelled Low fat, 10% to under 20% Medium fat, 20% or more High fat. The label describes how the food's calories are made up; official US and UK labels use other limits.
