About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 2 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Meat Products and Dishes Supplement, 1996; and LGC, Survey of dietary oils and fat, 1981-1982.
