The rounding off to the nearest gram is also a problem. 0.4 grams is reported as 0 grams. So if a company chooses its serving size correctly, it can report that it contains 0 grams of fat.

A butter company, for example, could say their butter (which is 99% fat in reality) has 0 grams of fat, as long as they said their serving size is half a gram.
