I really suspected the label had to be wrong. Now they have a new label. I found this thread on Dotti's. The point count has gone way up. The following was from a website www.lowcarbluxury.com Click feature articles and then look for Read the Label

It points out something we all need to be aware of. We have to use our common sense. It didn't make sense for 6 of those cookies to be 1 point. This is so frustrating. It undermines my confidence in all nutrition labels.

----------------
Here is a perfect example: Several times now visitors have written to me to tell me how much they enjoy those "delicate little Kedem Tea Biscuits." They go on to tell me how they're only 1 gram of carbs per each 2 cookies and they enjoy having them every day now.

One look at the label lets you know there's a big error there, but many people simply pick up a product and check the carb counts. And even more frightening, some of the low-carb vendors are now carrying these Tea Biscuits and selling them to you, the consumer. I'm sure they're very tasty little things. But, they are anything but low-carb... Let's take a look at the ingredients (this is identical for both their "regular" and their "vanilla" varieties):

Wheat flour, sugar, vegetable shortening, baking powder, salt, artificial flavors.

Okay, see that? First ingredient - flour (pure carbohydrate). Second ingredient - sugar. Yep, plain white sugar. Do I need to say this is pure carbohydrate? Then, for good measure, it's followed up by its only other significant ingredient - shortening. Trans fats -- the most dangerous kind. So we are expected to believe because a label prints a "1 gram" next to carb count on the label that a product that is 3/4 pure carbohydrate and 1/4 trans fats is an acceptable low-carb snack? I have to say the exact same ingredients are found in garden variety sandwich cookies. And in Twinkies, as a matter of fact. A quick look at the Kedem Tea Biscuit label shows the following:
N u t r i t i o n F a c t s
Serving Size: 2 Biscuits
Calories: 22
Total Fat: 1g
Total Carbohydrate: 1g
Sugar: 2.5g
Protein: .4g


Can we see the problem here? First, how can there be only 1 gram of carbs when there's 2.5 grams of sugar alone? And the sugar count is not including the white flour in the ingredients. If the calorie count is correct, and the fat grams are correct, there are at least 3 and maybe 4 times more carbs than the label says. Add to that, they're the worst kind of carbs. Not the healthy kind you get from nutrient packed veggies, but the junk carbs that heighten cravings, cause stalls, and got you here in the first place. A look at their Sugarfree Biscuits reveals even more. The ingredients are the same except sugar is traded for maltitol syrup (a sugar alcohol), yet the panel says the same number of cookies is 10 carbs, not 1 carb. So that's 10 times as high a count. And I suspect these little biscuits masquerading as "low-carb" carry a similar carb count.

I wrote the company and they acknowledged the label is in error on that point and when they next create new labels (I haven't a clue when that will be), it will be corrected. How often is this happening? Put your Ellery Queen hat on and be a label detective when you shop. Nothing that starts with flour and sugar is going to be appropriate for your new way of life!

Kadeems are a lie

weigh to go :
what does the new label say ? How many points are they actually ?
Thanks for the enligtenment !

A few yrs ago I saw a report on 20/20 or dateline about nutrition labels. They tested brands like healthy choice and lean cuisine. I know quite a few labels were wrong. The companies are aloud to be wrong up to like 40 %!!!!!! I was shocked! On the report I don't think any were that bad but it really makes you think!
I don't worry about it to much because I believe most labels are pretty reliable. I would just stay away from companies that you know are not honest!

Here's the new label
 

This is from a thread on dotti's...

I kept that info in the back of my mind until today, when I noticed Kedems at my supermarket with a "new" package. I bought the package just so I would have the information to share (it was worth the 69¢). Unfortunately, I had just thrown out my last package of vanilla, so the only comparison is the plain type, which is very much like the vanilla.

Old plain:
serving: 2 biscuits
calories: 22
Fat: 1g
Fiber: .5g

New Vanilla:
servings: 2 biscuits
calories: 52
Fat: 1.3g
Fiber: .2g

Now maybe these have been around and I have never noticed them, but I have bought the vanilla ones before and they were 22 calories for 2.

So rather than 6 biscuits equalling 1 point, they equal 3 points!

I guess this is all just another reason to try and keep our processed food intake to a minimum and to get in that kitchen and cook our own food with no unpronounceable ingredients and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables!

I am so depressed. I think nothing of munching on 2 or 3 kedems and calling that 1/2 point. Oh well, back to the straight and narrow...sob.

An alternate that you may want to try are the kosher macaroons (I've forgotten the brand name - no can at work). The chocolate kind are 2 for one point because of the high fiber count (5 grams) - very satisfying!
