Why do the calories not add up on the back of the Hagen-Dazs mini box?

Question

There are 6 ice cream bars and for 1 it lists 180 calories, for 2 350, for the whole box 1060. It isn’t adding up? What is the explanation for this?

Answer 1

You’re allowed to round the calorie counts for foods on the nutrition facts label. In this case, one bar might actually be 177 calories, which gets rounded to 180. For two, it’s 354 calories, which rounds down to 350 and 6 is 1062, which rounds to 1060.
