Is Finagle products trust worthy?

Context : I count all my calories, and find the least calorie dense options. Came across this today and I really cant believe my own eyes. 50 kcal per serving!!!

Here's my concern that I sent as an email to Finagle's admin and customer care :

TLDR : 50 kcal does not make sense at all when the calculation of macronutrients come to about 94 kcal !! Almost double the stated amount !

A major question and possible labeling error regarding the nutrition facts stated on the back of Finagle Pitta Bread's packaging [ Title ]

As I am unable to upload images here, attached below is a written annotation of said nutrition label found in the back of Finagle's Pitta Bread 425g packet:

*****

Nutrition Facts

Serving Size: 70.8g

Servings Per Container: 6

Amount Per Serving

Calories 50 Calories from Fat 10

Total Fat 5.5g

Saturated Fat 0g

Trans Fat 0g

Cholesterol 0mg

Sodium 100mg

Total Carbohydrate 9g

Dietary Fiber 0g

Sugars 3.8g

Protein 2g

Vitamin A 2%

Calcium 0%

Vitamin C 0%

Iron 4%

*****

The stated calories of 50kcal per serving do not make sense when each macronutrient's calorie/gram is calculated :

Carbohydrates: (4) calories per gram

Protein: (4) calories per gram

Fat: (9) calories per gram

5.5g of fat (49.5 kcal) + 9g of carbs (36 kcal) + 2g of protein (8 kcal) equals 93.5 calories! Nearly double the stated amount!

I hope I have made a mistake on my side and misread or misinterpreted the nutrition label. Still, I find it unimaginable for this to be accurate with such a serving size.

Hence, why I'm hoping to hear more from you soon, to understand if I'm consuming only 50 kcal per serving (Without any additional ingredients added in the reheating process).

Thank you,

And Best regards,

A health conscious citizen.

Did I do too much or is my concern genuinely legitimate?

Or am I missing some important context, hoping someone helps me out!

Until I find an answer, FINAGLE IS OUT OUT!

Is this nutrition label straight up lying ???

Precise context :

Finagle is a massive Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 bakery focused corporation. It's market share and product range is huge! Hence why I have been blindly trusting their products.

My question : ( 70g Pitta bread for 50 kcal ?? )

Am I missing some important context here? Or is 50 kcal for a 70g Pitta bread a miracle in broad daylight?

Attached images are proof of purchase and nutrition label. ( Maybe I've missed some important crumbs in my calculation )

I found this absurdly hard to believe, hence why I did the Calories per macronutrient gram calculation.
