Mushrooms question

Nomad said:

I bought a can of mushrooms today.
The brand is Liberty Gold.
The label says one serving (3/4 cup)
has <1 G of carbs and 4 G of fiber.
Can this be right?
Looking at my Corine Netzer book,
the best canned is about a 2 to 1 ratio.
Is it correct or a bad label?
TIA

It looks like the two figures are reversed.

Was it canned outside the US, the fiber may not be included in the carb
count. If the fiber line is indented, it is probably included in the carb
count.

It could easily be 5 total, 4 fiber, 1 net. Mushrooms are on the
salad list of ultra-low carb veggies after all.

How to check? Use the calorie count on the label. Fat is 9
calories per gram, carbs 4, protein 4, and fiber is also 4
because fiber is carb. Multiply the types by those numbers
and total them up. If the total with fiber is close to the
calories then it's claimed carbs are net. If the total without the
fiber is closer to the calories then it's claimed carbs are total.
If you can't pick a total near the calories then the label is
screwed up. It has to be near not exact because of round-off.
