Not necessarily....remember labels average DOWN on their labels.
Another example is nonstick cooking spray that is listed as 0 fat per
serving, but it is almost all fat. Splenda and Equal claim to be 0 cal
per serving, yet there are 4 calories per packet (one serving). What
you could have is: Sat fat 1.4, polyunsat fat 3.9, Monounsaturated 1.9
grams=7.2 which they round off to 7.0 grams. dkw
