well, the main ingredients are water and mushrooms
so yes, it would be very low in calories

People have tested store bought calories and macros numerous times, they are almost always materially wrong, beyond 20%.

This is accurate definitely
takeawayballs
yeah that’s crazy especially since it says 50% split between sauce and the pasta you’d assume it’s split of the 400g portion? but that wouldn’t make sense since if it were truly 200g of cooked tagliatelle by itself, it would be much higher than 242 calories. and why does it say 400g portion when it’s actually 380g for the package? i know it’s 20g difference but surely thats a discrepancy?
I suppose though, the pasta says (water, durum wheat semolina etc..) so, the pasta may be lower calorie due to the fact its eggless and made with water, which reduces the calories

Am I the only one here thinking it’s not possible? Even if the pasta is made of water and semolina and the sauce is majority water I think 240 is too low… I would believe it if it was like 400 but 240 sounds ridiculous

It says per 100 grams, and it says it’s 380 grams. So (254×3.8) it’s more likely 965 calories

Sorry, some people commenting here don’t know the different between kJ and kcal.
But yeah, it’s weird that the calories are so low. If you are committed, maybe separate all the noodles from the sauce and see how much pasta you actually get. Maybe it’s a wild amount of mushrooms lol.

61 kcal per 100 grams?? No fucking way. I’m shocked people here think it’s correct. Definitely not.

Am I missing something? The calories are for 100g and the serving size is 380g. So it’s 457 calories, which makes sense for a single portion of pasta.

[There’s a very similar version of this one in the US with very similar ingredients,](https://a.co/d/0NLCiKw) except that the one you have doesn’t contain added sugars whereas the one in the US does, so that would make yours lower in calories.
However, I would say to be safe, just go by the US one and/or subtract the sugar grams from the total carbohydrates in the US one and calculate the total calories from that.
Edit: I was trying to be helpful by searching for a similar option, why am I getting downvoted? Both are from Whole Foods and both are creamy mushroom pasta meals packaged in almost identical containers. 🫤

Yeah I don’t always trust the labels. I’m sure it’s illegal to have them that far off. Don’t quote me though
