A food has a high salt content if it contains more than 1.5g (1.5%) of salt (or 0.6g of sodium) per 100g.

 

 

A food has a high sugar content if it contains more than 15g of sugar per 100g (or 15%).

 

 

A food has a high fat content if it contains more than 20g of total fat per 100g (20%).

 

 

 

 

These figures could be found on all front-of-pack labelling soon.

It's good to know - knowledge is power - but I don't think I'd use it much. It would be interesting to see the difference between higher priced food/meals and the cheap shite.

Stick to natural foods, can't go too wrong.

Good. Always check the content of food and drink regarding fat, sugar and salt anyway.

 

If it doesn't have that displayed I wouldn't buy it.

Is it not a legal requirement to have that anyways? I could google it, but i'm lazy.

Yes I think so. I think it was an EU directive that said you had to have it displayed.
