EU nutrition claims

  • Low fat: 1.9 g fat per 100 g (limit ≤ 3 g)
  • Low saturated fat: 1.1 g saturated fat per 100 g, 8.7% of energy (limits ≤ 1.5 g and ≤ 10%)
  • Low salt: 0.06 g salt per 100 g (limit ≤ 0.3 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 89 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide

Free sugars under 50 g a day, ideally about 25 g, based on WHO free-sugar guidance (not endorsed by WHO). The share shown is the share of one serving. WHO
