Default Carb Count - Include Fibre or not??

Hey all,

just wondering, I cant remember where I read it, but in the US you should subtract the fibre count from the carb count to get the real carb count (cause fibre shouldnt be counted).

I think I was browsing through the UK forum ( I cant really remember) and they said that in the UK you should not subtract the fibre count as it was already done so??

What's the story in Ireland?

I thought it was like this

Carbs .............................50 g
of which sugar...............12 g
Fibre...............................5 g

Which means that the fibre is not included in the carb count and you can't subtract it. But if it is written like this:

Carbs .............................50 g
of which sugar...............12 g
of which Fibre.... ............5 g

In this case you can subtract the fibre count from the total carb count.

Any other input or clues??
