Nutrition Facts
* The % Daily Value (DV) tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet. 2,000 calories a day is used for general nutrition advice. Protein % DV here is not corrected for protein quality.
The submitted label declares more added sugars than total sugars, which cannot both be true; one of the figures is wrong. Computed from the values per 100 g that Original Juan Specialty Foods, Inc. submitted to USDA, for the declared 6g serving. They are rounded as FDA requires labels to round; the package in your hand is the authority. Check the USDA record.
