Verified benefits — authorised EU health claims

This food does not reach the EU threshold ("source of", at least 15 % of the Nutrient Reference Value per 100 g) for any vitamin or mineral claim. It can still be part of a healthy diet — see the nutrient table.

Also low in sodium and saturated fat — which relates to the authorised claims: “Reducing consumption of sodium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.” “Reducing consumption of saturated fat contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels.”
