Is nutrition label always right?

[p0oh]

Hi, I have a question.
I bought a sweeten mango which says that serving per container is 7 and amount per serving is 6. So the total calories should be 42. But, when I compare it with another sweeten mango, the others' calories are like 400ish.
So, do you think the nutrition fact label ALWAYS right?
Thank you.

Unless it is a typo - the label is right.
As far as typos go, it is not too often that the FDA lets those get by.
Is there a website or 1-800 number that you could double check the numbers with the manufacturer?

The FDA requires accurate data. Requires, not just suggests. Manufacturers that release inaccurate data are fined pretty heavily if it is a blatant disregard to the standard.

Give the mfg a call and see if you maybe get some free mango.
Every time I have ever called a product manufacturer, they have given me coupons, free stuff etc.
Good luck.
