Comment on EU grocery shoppers 'fooled' by 'maze' of food labels: audit

Do EU goods have a nutrition label similar to the US? Pretty easy to look at the ingredients here as well as percentages of things like protein, fiber, fat, and added sugars.

They do. But one thing that bugs me about the nutrition labels in the US is that they show “amount per serving”, rather than per 100ml or per 100g, which they have in the EU (at least in Sweden). it makes it a step harder to compare nutrition labels in the US.
I also feel judged when they tell me a bag of chips contains many servings.

Yeah. Tic-tacs are all sugar, but due to the serving size being so small they can claim they are sugar free

You telling me a packet of ramen isn’t really 2 servings?
