Coleslaw, not low calorie, retail

This coleslaw is a ready-prepared retail product, rather than a reduced-calorie version. Coleslaw is generally made from shredded cabbage and other vegetables mixed with a dressing. It mainly provides fat and carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of fibre and protein. Per 100g, it contains 16g of fat, 1.6g of saturated fat, 6g of carbohydrate and 0.74g of salt.

Fat provides energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. The fat and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their energy, saturated fat or salt intake. Recipes and dressings vary between products, so the label gives the most relevant information for a particular coleslaw. Full nutrient figures for this food are provided in the tables below.
