Per 100g, they contain 59g of carbohydrate, 21g of fat, including 9.1g of saturated fat, and 3g of salt. The data combine samples from several brands.

Carbohydrate and fat provide energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. The salt and saturated fat content are relevant for people monitoring these in their diet.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (20 samples, 3 brands; assorted flavours). "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These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated.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: Miscellaneous Foods Supplement, 1994.
