How is it possible to make bread that has 0g fiber per slice?

Question

Often bread in store says it has 0g fiber per serving (1 slice). How is that possible? Doesn’t the basic ingredients of bread have fiber?

In: Chemistry

Answer 1

A particularly low fiber slice of white bread (1 serving per nutrition facts) can have under .5g of fiber in it.

As such, it gets rounded down to 0 per FDA rounding rules.

This is the same thing that allows tic-tacs to show 0 sugar and 0 calories on the nutrition label despite *being literally just sugar and binders.*
