I used to think this was a bad idea because while objective numbers are great, it can be difficult to apply it to real life. But then manufacturers play games with serving size so it’s no more realistic than a flat 100g, so I’ll pick the more honest choice

100g maps directly to percentages. 3.5g sugar per serving, 1 serving is ⅓ cup -> ??% sugar per unit weight. 9g sugar per 100g -> 9% per unit weight. makes it possible to actually calculate nutrient intake in your head.

In Germany the nutrients per 100g are mandatory, but most of the time there is nutrients per serving on there too.

A nutrition label useful for both comparison and meal planning? What will they think of next?

If you aren't going to measure how much you're eating, then neither form of label matters.
