Maybe the amount of calories and fat is too small for typical measuring methods to register anything above 1 given the serving size. Of course, I don't know how anyone can spray for 1/4 of a second with any close to accurate.

    No, in US labeling, it's all a rounding scheme designed to hide the facts thanks to junk food lobbyists.

    "amounts less than 5 calories may be expressed as zero." [Within whatever arbitrary(!!!) serving size the company elects to use for their junk.] So they just pick a serving size that, for instance would be 4 (k)cal, and then call it zero across the board to suit their desire to obfuscate the truth.

    Not to mention, what they call a calorie is really a kilocalorie.
