Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 41 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
0 g per serving
0 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 0 % of the ideal 25 g
