Trying to work out the caloric or WW points of particular foods is then confusing because they then throw in the per 100 grms rule but the product maybe 120 or 57 grms in weight or 317 and that's before we consider drained weight.
Then working out percentages of salt or fat also requires some more maths..

I get some queer looks when I'm standing there with my magnifying glass and calculator in hand..plus the time it takes to do this research..

No I want them to be far more open than they are and they can stick their buyer beware.I just wish Which got more involved in food retailing..
Seriously ? good grief Maggie just buy what you like and enjoy it ,worrying about crap like that will lead you to early grave
