trust a sticker nutrition label?
 
So I'm eating my cereal and granola this morning and I noticed the nutrition label on the granola bag looks funny. It's a freakin' sticker! The sticker is on top of the original nutrition label. :eek:

So... which one do I go by?!

Is the information quite different?

Yeah, I don't remember the differences though. Either way, the original package label had more discouraging numbers. :(

I would trust the sticker over the original package; they had to update it for a reason. THey probably used different ingredients than they had originally planned, or changed the recipe and were too cheap to get new packaging...

The nutrition of granola surprised me when I first looked at it. Apparently they add quite a bit of junk in commercial granola. You should be able to make a nutritious version on your own. Perhaps health food stores have a better version.

I am a fan of Erin Baker's granola, especially in Chocolate...

If I understand correctly, nutritional content labeling is strictly enforced by the FDA and must be very very accurate. I wouldn't distrust the sticker.

Back to Nature Granola works for me; the Apple Cinnamon one is really good.

But which sticker... that was the question.

Which raises another question; did you notice any of the other ones being sold having the same sticker?

If that's the case, I'd agree with you in that it may have been an update from the distributor.

Regardless, if the contents weren't that different, then I wouldn't think it was for deliberate misinformation.

That looks good. Wild Oats Market used to have a wonderful granola. After being taken over by whole foods it disappeared.
