This flavor is 45cal per 28g. Most of the other flavors (and most other brands) are 60-90cal, which makes me wonder…
Calculating using the nutrition label, the macros do roughly add up accurately, but it just seems odd that this one should be so low?
I’m in the habit of slamming a whole tub of this stuff with carrots so I’m hoping that I’m not ingesting twice the calories that I think I am lol.

Looks legit to me! I get the roasted garlic hummus from Aldi and it is 40 calories for 2T, so similar to yours. Also, Oasis makes an oil free hummus, the roasted red pepper version is 28 calories per 2T!

I have no knowledge of this brand, but a major ingredient of traditional hummus is olive oil, so you could make a much lower calorie hummus by just reducing the ration of oil it contained. Try comparing the fat content with another hummus to see if this one is lower fat.
