Maybe I am being very thick here, but I am just looking at the ingredient breakdown for Henry Goodes liquorice and there is nearly 20g of the 100g not accounted for when you tally up what is listed.

Are companies not required to list the constituent ingredients or am I missing something here?

Ingredients breakdown, or nutrients breakdown? Do they give weights for the former?

I would check my packet of liquorice, but as mentioned it's the foodstuff of Beelzebub, so it's not allowed within 2 miles of the house.

Water? Things that aren't fat, carb, salt, fibre, etc so "other"?

Like you say if it's not fat, carb, salt fibre then it doesn't leave many other options.

They are only things that are measured, so it's other stuff with no notable nutritional value, like gloop, water, goo and chew.

They never tell you the quantities of ingredients

A lot of food contains fillers that have no nutritional value, basically reprocessed sawdust.
