i've personally written the company more times than i can count via email and snail mail and have called them - and have never received any reply or answer. which makes me more than suspicious.

anyway, here's my problem, and what i've written them:

millet and flax ingredients:
Millet Flour, Brown Rice Flour, Ground Flax Seed, Salt, Non Aluminum Baking Powder and Water

calories/carbs/fiber/fat/pro of the ingredients:
millet flour (35g): 130 calories 26g carbs 3g fiber 1.5g fat 4g pro
brown rice flour (35g): 130 calories 27g carbs 2g fiber 1g fat 3g pro
ground flaxseed (14g): 80 calories 5g carbs 4g fiber 5g fat 3g pro

nutritional information as per sami's:
1 piece lavash (56g) note: now same info, but reduced serving size to half
calories: 61
carbs: 11g
fiber: 8g
fat: 1g
pro: 2g

how can the ingredients be arranged to give this nutritional information??

remember that the fda requires ingredients to be listed in descending order of percentage. so this product should be mostly millet and brown rice flours with some flaxseed. how can the 5:4 ratio of carbs/fiber in flaxseed be this exaggerated? how can the 5g of fat that goes along with the 4g fiber of flaxseed disappear? (it should be more like 10g fat)

i have a feeling these are much more calorically dense than sami advertises and much higher in both carbs and fat.

and...they will not explain this. not after 3 years of letters.

also, i don't see how it was unfair of ncgirl to post what she did. she even emphasized that it could be all rumor...

ETA: i gained 10 pounds using their products, and that was what tipped me off to this whole thing!
