Sažetak
The adequate choice of food can promote health, prevent diseases, help in recovery, and minimise problems caused by disease. To enable general population to make healthy choices, producers are obligated and encouraged by the Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 to provide food information to consumers in a simple and understandable way. A nutrition declaration, including energy value, the amounts of fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt, is one of the mandatory pieces of information for food. Aside from the traditionally accepted values obtained by the manufacturer´s food analysis, average values based on a calculation from the known or actual average values of ingredients used and/or a calculation from generally established and accepted data are options for the nutrition declaration. To help food producers in the implementation of the calculation options, EuroFIR FoodComp Working Group published a step-by-step Guideline for calculating nutrient content for the nutrition declaration as indicated in the above mentioned Regulation. The aim of this presentation is to introduce these guidelines on a few selected cereal products.
