I noticed on the Anuvia label, the slow-release content is listed as 30% with an asterisk, but the whole Nitrogen content is only 16%. Does that mean it's actually 1.1% slowly available N by regular standards? I've never seen a label written in this way. Is this how labels for enhanced efficiency fertilizers are written?

Fertilizer label requirements are standardized and apply to all. There are also specific standards for what qualifies as water soluble and water insoluble N (you'll need to google for those standards) but they are to be listed on the label. I also believe any chemical that exceeds a certain % of bag content must also be identified?

30% of 16% would be about 5.33%. How did you come up with the 1.1%?

Is there a link to the product label? I tried finding one and gave up after 10min of online search.

Math error. Good catch.

Anyway, why is it listed that way? On Milorganite, and almost every synthetic product, for example, they list the actual percentages of N of various types in the entire bag...not fractional percentages of the total N like Anuvia does.

I couldn't find an image of the bag label either, but the first link that I posted above has the guaranteed analysis, which should be the same as the bag label.

It should be, but it's not. Here's the bag label. Notice the circled parts:
