Saturated Fat Percent DV Question

Can anyone please explain to me the math used for Saturated Fat %DV on food labels? For example, one serving of Quorn Meatless Pieces is 1g Saturated Fat with 3% DV, yet one serving of Fage 5% Milkfat Greek Yogurt is 6g Saturated Fat but a whopping 31% DV? Shouldn’t it be 18% DV?

Answer

The devils is probably in the rounding. When it says 1g, it’s probably .5G or lower and they just round up. That would explain the discrepancy. Anytime they’re talking about a single gram, there’s bound to be all kinds of rounding errors.

Answer

It’s a rounding issue. Check this calculator.
