Why this label?

High protein

17.9 g protein for 349 kcal = 5.1 g per 100 kcal, so protein gives about 21% 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 sugars: 2.8 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 5 g)
  • Source of fibre: 2.3 g fibre per 100 kcal (needs ≥ 1.5 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 506 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
