How are Carbohydrates Calculated? What is the Difference Between ‘Net Carbs’ and ‘Total Carbs’?Updated a month ago

In the UK, Total Carbohydrates are calculated based only on the starch and sugar content found in the product. In the US, the Total Carbohydrates would also include fibre. All HeyLO! products show the UK Total Carbs amounts (sugar and starch only). 

If a sweetener is used, its carb value is included in the total carbs, but in the case of polyol sweeteners like erythritol, this can be deducted from the total as it has very little impact on blood sugar.
