Nutrient screening detail

The badges near the top of this page come from screening the per-100 g values against the FDA nutrient-content thresholds in 21 CFR 101.54–101.62. The regulations define those claims per reference serving rather than per 100 g, so treat these as a like-for-like comparison between foods, not as a statement about a product label:

• High protein — 23.7 g per 100 g (≥ 20% DV)
• Keto-friendly — 4.4 g net carbs per 100 g (≤ 5 g)
