Why this label?

High protein

23.8 g protein for 427 kcal = 5.6 g per 100 kcal, so protein gives about 22% 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: 3.4 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 5 g)
  • Low salt: 0.26 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 111 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
