Food Nutrition Lists

Why do the weights on food product’s nutrition labels not match the total weights on the…?
…front?
For example on Progresso Minestrone soup it says on the nutrition label the can contains 2 servings and each serving weighs 240 grams, which would be a total of 480 grams for the can, but on the front of the can it lists the total weight as 538 grams. Many other products also don’t add up. Which should I go by, the nutrition label or the total weight?
Does the label also say there are more than 2 servings per can? There’s often more than an even amount of servings in a can. I think that’s what you’re noticing on these foods.
