NUTRITIONAL LABELING

The “Real Decreto 930/1992” (Directive 90/496/CEE) approved the labeling norm about nutritional properties of food products and regulates food properties labeling ready to be delivered to the final consumer and it establishes two modalities about information in the label:

Group 1: Power value and proteins quantity, carbon hydrates and fats
Group 2: Power value and proteins quantity, carbon hydrates, sugars, fats, saturates fatty acids, food fiber and sodium.

When it is made a declaration about nutritional properties about sugars, saturated fatty acids, total food fiber or sodium, the information will correspond to group 2.
Nutritional properties labeling can also include the amount of one or more of the following substances: Starch, Polyalcohol, Monounsaturated, Polyunsaturated, Cholesterol, any vitamin or mineral salts enumerated in the annexed of the R.D. 930/1992 and presents in significant amounts, as it is specified in that document.

We offer you our experience and capacity for measuring the content of each one of these nutrients in order to establish the average content of nutrients of your products and control the kindness of nutritional information declares on labels.
