In the US anything under 5 calories can be rounded down to 0, so it’s not actually 0 but pretty close! Each pickle will have around 3 calories so it’s negligible unless you eat the whole jar. But be warned, if you eat the whole jar you might shit yourself lol

Dill pickles are just cucumber and vinegar and salt. Each one is under 5 calories, so that enables the manufacturer to put “0” on the label.

As others said, anything below 5 cal per serving gets rounded. Still a very small amount. If servings per container is correct, that entire jar has at most 60 cal.
Pickles are very low calorie (except Bread and Butter). It’s the sodium that’s the issue. If you look on that jar, one pickle is 11% of the %DV.

It’s because they’re under 5 calories per spear. Be careful of the sodium! Water weight has people on here like “I gained 4 pounds overnight after eating pickles??”
yeahohshit
I wish I liked pickles for this reason! lol but I eat cucumbers instead
