Nährwertangabe
Nährwertangabe refers to the nutritional information provided on food packaging in German-speaking countries. It is a mandatory component of food labeling, designed to inform consumers about the content of key nutrients in a product. The Nährwertangabe typically lists the energy content in kilojoules (kJ) and kilocalories (kcal), along with amounts of fats, saturated fatty acids, carbohydrates, sugars, protein, and salt. This information is usually presented in a standardized table format for easy comparison between different products.
The regulations governing Nährwertangabe are largely harmonized across the European Union, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
