Hannaford Supermarkets
I went shopping the other day when I noticed that Hannaford has these new
tags hanging in front of low-carb foods saying that they are Carb Smart. They were in front of meat and cheeses and other stuff traditionally low carb. I went to get some canned veggies and across the isle, there were Carb Smart tags in front of some of the BBQ sauce. I picked on up and read the label. 13g carbs in 1 Tablespoon and it had cornsryup in it. I looked at one that didn't have the tag and it listed 20 carbs for 2 Tablespoons. I wish stores would stop trying to cash in on diets. It is sabotage.

Hence the FDA requirement that food not be labelled "low carb" until the FDA comes up with concrete definitions of "low carb". I mean, 13g of carbs is certainly lower than 20g carbs, right? That makes it "low carb" relative to the other one, yes? Their statement is technically true, but not useful. |

You see it was 13 in 1 tablespoon and 20 card in 2 tablespoons, which means the second had less carbs per Tablespoon. And the sauce itself didn't have it labeled low carb, but the store put cardboard in front of them saying they were carb smart products. The bbq sauce I looked at was Jack Daniels btw.
