EU nutrition claims
- Low salt: 0.25 g salt per 100 ml (limit ≤ 0.3 g)
Per 100 ml of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 81 ml a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
Caffeine · Free sugars
- Per serving: about 0 mg caffeine (serving: 1 cup (42.5 g white chocolate)). Source: 42.5 g white chocolate × USDA FDC SR Legacy #167571 (white chocolate, 0 mg/100 g).
- Scaling: making more servings does not change the caffeine in each serving; what counts is how many servings you drink in a day. 1 serving: 0 mg · 2 servings: 0 mg · 3 servings: 0 mg · 4 servings: 0 mg.
- General guideline: EFSA Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine (2015): for healthy adults, up to 200 mg in a single dose and up to 400 mg per day do not raise safety concerns. 1 serving = 0 % of 400 mg. EFSA
10.2 g per serving
20.4 % of the 50 g daily maximum · 40.8 % of the ideal 25 g
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
