      No it’s not, oil does not have a “serving size”.
      Thorry wrote both would be required, but when there is no “serving size” it would only be the 100g stated on the label.
      Generally here (Denmark) we never see “serving size” because it’s bullshit, and probably considered misleading.
      And misleading labeling and marketing is illegal.

        There is a point to having both - or at least giving an idea of how much an item typically weighs. One cookie might be 200g or 50g; people may typically reach for 1-5 cookies, for example.

        A misleading serving size (eg “per 1/4 cookie”) is indeed not helpful at all, but I don’t think it’s illegal.

          So many single-use packets which barely contain enough for half a meal, yet say “contains 2 servings” so they can halve all the numbers on the nutrition label. Yes, this is in america.

            They had to stop doing this for drinks (at least). They now show the whole bottle contents and sometimes also servings for some sizes.
