I wondered the same thing! Apparently it is the garlic that is the biggest contributor to the carbs and sugar.
I hope this helps out... and does not confuse anyone!
This is the list of ingredients for the spice mix:
1 Tbsp ground sage
1 Tbsp granulated garlic
1 tsp ground chipotle peppers
1 tsp ground allspice
This is the measurement for the entire recipe with a total size of:
16g Omitting the Ground Chipotle Chile since the detailed information was not displayed in the listings used.
(16 g = 0.56 oz -- 0.56 fl oz = 0.070 cups -- 0.070 cups = 1.128 Tbsp)
8.7g Total Carbs
2.1g Dietary Fiber
2.1g Sugars
1 US teaspoon = 0.333333333 US tablespoons

This is the nutrition for the listed spices with amounts.
Note the measurements compared to actual amount used for the
recipe.

calorie count did not include this in their listings.

It makes one think about the things we eat which we do not know exactly what is in it. Be careful out there... and as always...
Take care!!
