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.
