Why this label?
11.1 g protein for 188 kcal = 5.9 g per 100 kcal, so protein gives about 24% of the energy. High protein needs at least 20% (5 g per 100 kcal), the condition in the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
EU nutrition claims
- Low saturated fat: 1.4 g saturated fat per 100 g, 9.6% of energy (limits ≤ 1.5 g and ≤ 10%)
- Low sugars: 4.3 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 5 g)
