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:

• Good source of protein — 6.2 g per 100 g (≥ 10% DV)
• Good source of fibre — 4.3 g per 100 g (≥ 10% DV)
• Low fat — 1.7 g per 100 g (≤ 3 g)
• Low saturated fat — 0 g per 100 g (≤ 1 g)
• Sodium free — 0 mg per 100 g (< 5 mg)
