That's weird - could it be to do with the brand/country of origin? I've had a look at a pack of flaked almonds from Aldi in my cupboard and it has the usual information.
Could be a US label, see quite a few things with those
Yeah, sounds like it, in Asian supermarkets you will find overlabelled nutritional info labels. Fibre is considered a carb in the US system, a US label would spell it fiber.
I hate the US system as it does not require per 100g or per 100ml units.

I think over here carbs are calculated minus insoluble fibre, while in North America, the total is included as carbs. I think it’s why you get different calorie values when you look up the calories for a certain food, a North American brand will have a high calorie count than a UK/Irish one.
So for your label, total carbs would be 3g, but you can’t absorb two of those so they’re just counted as fibre rather than carbs.
