Why this label?
13.8 g protein for 74 kcal = 18.6 g per 100 kcal, so protein gives about 75% 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 fat: 0.6 g fat per 100 g (limit ≤ 3 g)
- Low saturated fat: 0.1 g saturated fat per 100 g, 1.2% of energy (limits ≤ 1.5 g and ≤ 10%)
- Low sugars: 1.2 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 5 g)
- Low salt: 0.11 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 104 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
