Default What points would you give this?

I found these Tortilla/Soft Taco Shells with the following nutrition info:
Serving size: 1 tortilla
Calories: 90
Total Fat: 0g
Dietary Fiber: 8g
Sugars: 1g
Protein: 4g

Vegan Friendly
No Lard
No Added Oil
No Dairy
Cholesterol Free
Non-Aluminum Type Baking Powder

My calculator puts them at 0.8 if only counting 5g of fiber. Does that
sound right?
Thanks,
Brian

Is this true for all foods? I had not heard of this before. My whole
wheat english muffins have 8g fiber (1 point each) and my breakfast
cereal has 5g fiber (2 points per serving).

Thanks

In the US (cause I don't know the UK program) you count Calories, total fat
grams and fibers up to 4.

They have been capped at 4 for years.

Thanks Willow. I even went to meetings for awhile, until my fixed
income didn't allow it, and was never told that.

I recalculated the muffins and cereal and they didn't change. Whew.
