Look on page 28 where fats are listed. In that same section you can see calories, how carbys are calculated etc. The uncertainty depends upon the amount; i.e., if less than 0.5 it will labeled s zero. Between 0.5 and 5 values are rounded to the nearest 0.5. Above 5 values are entered rounded to the nearest 1 gram.
