trust the nutrition label? - calories in bulgur

I have a package of coarse bulgur that has a nutrition label saying it’s 80 calories, 3g protein for a 47g dry serving. Link below.

Every other package of bulgur I’ve seen online has something more like 150-180 calories for a similar serving size. And the USDA has dry bulgur at 340 per 100g.

How can it be possible that this one package has bulgur at 80 cals for 47g? Or is it more likely that this label is off/wrong?

> trust the nutrition label?

When its not imported. While FDA do occasionally take enforcement action against imports they generally have an expectation that other countries should regulate their own food labels even though the US is way more on top of it then the rest of the world.

With ingredients like this its always better to use USDA DB generic over the label/manufacturer submission directly anyway. They are only legally required to submit some nutritional information to USDA so manufacturer submissions often miss some micros.
