Many products on supermarket shelves have nutritional labels both on the front and on the back, mostly in Thai, and the info does not appear to be the same. Can someone explain pls? Example here. Thanks.

The first pic is total amounts (5 servings) the second is per serving amounts (divide first pic amounts by 5)

So the front label is what you'd get if you drank the entire carton (which in this case totals 5 servings), correct? Is it safe to say then that in all such products with front and back labels, the front  is entire product and the back is each serving? 

I see the back label is percentages of recommended daily intake. I assume front label also uses the same measure?

Waste of time re: energy content.

 

The best idea I ever saw....very quickly squashed by food manufacturers.......... was labels indicating how many miles you would have to run to 'work off' a single serving........pure genius.

I'd assume so but I only looked at your single example and did not do a comprehensive survey

The RDA will vary according to the total cals - this is clearly based on 2000 cals as a daily target.

Which piece of the nutritional information in particular are you interested in?
